Bitterfelder Bogen

☆ Be sure to use the opportunity to go upstairs. Great foresight in all directions. There are benches on each floor.

The Bitterfelder Bogen is a structure in the form of a steel arch bridge. It is an architectural sculpture designed by the Frankfurt artist Claus Bury on a former high tip, the so-called Bitterfelder Berg, above the newly created cultural and lake landscape of the Bitterfeld region. The building, which was built in 2005–2006 and is 81 m long, 14 m wide and 28 m high, is used as a viewing point. The arch is a new landmark for the city of Bitterfeld-Wolfen, which also uses this motif for its logo.

The arch construction is based on two pointed oval wing shapes placed diagonally to each other and is staggered in depth in three layers. A ramp system with a 6° incline is suspended in the two gaps. The two pairs of wings of the overall architecture are clearly inclined inwards, which gives the arch both additional elegance and static strength. The ramps mentioned lead up in an elongated zigzag course, two times five footpaths made of non-slip and close-meshed galvanized steel gratings. All paths are step-free and secured by metal railings made of narrow, rhythmic bar lattices. Every bend of the 540 meter long hiking trail has a small platform including a bench. The top ramp ends in a balcony that protrudes 21 meters high[1] above the arch and invites you to linger, high above Bitterfeld.
