Lübeck's Historic Wall Bridge Now a Pedestrian, Cycle Path
The Wall Bridge in Lübeck, officially also known as Wall Bridge at Holstentor, is one of the city's oldest preserved bridges. Today, it provides a quiet and charming connection between the historic old town and the railway station area, crossing the southern Wallanlagen.
Initially constructed as a single-span steel arch bridge, additional supports were added to its sides to ensure its current use. The bridge was later converted into a pedestrian and cycle path, symbolizing the shift towards sustainable mobility. Despite not being designed by a single prominent architect, the bridge is an integral part of the city's modernisation and traffic plans of the 20th century. Originally built as a railway bridge for the Lübeck-Büchener Railway, it served rail traffic along Wallstraße and enabled train traffic over the city moat or the Trave.
The Wall Bridge in Lübeck, though not the work of a single renowned architect, is a significant part of the city's infrastructure and history. Its conversion to a pedestrian and cycle path reflects the city's commitment to sustainable mobility.
