The Schwienbrücke with a great view of the Leine. The sight nearby, however, is the Maschsee with its "source" and the beautiful park next to it.

The Schwien Bridge in Hanover is a prestressed concrete bridge built in 1955 over the Leine River, connecting the Hanover districts of Südstadt and Ricklingen near the Ricklinger Kiesteiche, west of the Maschsee and Karl-Thiele-Weg. The structure, located in a local recreation and landscape conservation area for pedestrians and cyclists, was named in 1963 after Senior Building Inspector Karl Schwien (1894–1961), who, as head of the Water and Bridge Construction Department of the Municipal Civil Engineering Office, was involved in the planning and construction of the Maschsee.
