The floating bridge Dahlhausen is a pedestrian and road bridge over the Ruhr at the city boundary between Bochum and Hattingen. Its northeastern half lies in the Bochum district Dahlhausen, her southwestern half in the Hattinger district Dumberg. The road leading across the bridge connects Bochum via Hattinger Stadtgebiet with Essen's Burgaltendorf district and, via a branch, with the Hattinger villages of Dumberg and Niederwenigern. A first pontoon bridge at this location was opened in the spring of 1899. Previously, a ferry took over the transport of wagons and persons. The bridge was heavily damaged in the Second World War on 18 May 1943 (bombing of Möhnetalsperre) and only temporarily rebuilt. In 1959 they were finally replaced by the current bridge about 50 meters downriver.

Not to be confused by the blockage signs, for pedestrians and cyclists the bridge is open.

If you want to continue on the Springorum route (bike path) from Bochum to Ruhrtalradweg direction Essen or to Hattingen you have to drive over this bridge.

The bridge is part of the route of industrial heritage since 2014, the bridge is a listed building.

The bridge is currently closed to all motorized traffic, as many drivers did not follow the traffic rules.
