This approximately 160m long bridge connects the districts of Hacklberg and Heining.
From this bridge you have a view (up the Danube) in the direction of the railway bridge and the Kachlet hydroelectric power station and its lock.

The Franz Josef Strauss Bridge is the youngest bridge over the Danube in the city of Passau and relieves the four kilometers inland Schanzlbrücke. The bridge is constructed as a bow arch bridge and connects the two districts Heining and Hacklberg at river kilometer 2230,10.

The Strauss Bridge is the car bridge. Several things were mixed up here and the railway bridge and the Kachlet were also combined...

What would Passau, the city of three rivers, be without shipping?
Large shipping companies offer boat trips.
Kachlet is an operated dam with a double lock and hydroelectric power station on the Danube near Maierhof, a district of Passau.

Quoting from Wikipedia:
The Kachlet, a section of the Danube strewn with rocks and small islands before Passau, has always impeded shipping traffic. So it was decided to dam the almost 20 km long dangerous stretch.
For this purpose, Rhein-Main-Donau AG, founded in 1921, built a power plant with a double lock between 1922 and 1927. At the same time, this was the first step towards the creation of the main shipping route Main-Danube Canal.

The Steinbach Bridge, also called the Kachlet Bridge, leads the rail traffic across the Danube near the Kachlet hydropower station.

The hotel ships are built so that exactly two can fit side by side in the lock.
