Golden Bridge in the Hofgarten

Highlight • Bridge

The golden bridge is just one of many beautiful spots in the Hofgarten, a green lung in the city where it is definitely worth taking a stroll. In Germany's first and oldest public garden there are extensive and beautiful green areas, playgrounds, dog zones, and the northern Düssel also flows through.

History

The Oberkassel Bridge is the oldest Rhine bridge in Düsseldorf for private traffic. After the Hammer Railway Bridge, it is the second permanent Rhine bridge in Düsseldorf.

The first Oberkassel Bridge was built between 1896 and 1898 on behalf of the Rheinische Bahngesellschaft AG and on the initiative and with the financing of the Rheinbahn founders Heinrich Lueg, Franz Haniel junior, Friedrich Vohwinkel and August Bagel "the Younger" as part of the K-Bahn and opened on November 12, 1898. Its two large iron truss arches, each with a span of around 181 meters, and the four shorter arches over the Düsseldorf Rhine wharf and the flat Oberkassel bank were planned by the engineer Reinhold Krohn and built by the Gutehoffnungshütte in (Oberhausen-) Sterkrade. The two historicist gate towers and the superstructures of the central pillar with the figure of the Bergisch Lion looking upstream along the Rhine, as well as the bridge railing, were designed by the Düsseldorf architect and painter.

Oberkassel Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Oberkassel Bridge is the oldest of Düsseldorf's many bridges. A historic highlight: In 1976, the bridge was relocated 47.5 meters downstream, weighing 12,500 tons. Its current position certainly makes for spectacular shots of the city center.
