Schleidenbrücke
Schleidenbrücke crosses the Osterbekkanal in Hamburg, linking Barmbek-Süd with Saarlandstraße beside Barmbek-Nord and Winterhude. From its deck, you can look along the canal in both directions while traffic passes over a 24.2-metre road bridge.
Fritz Schumacher directed its construction in 1929, and the structure is now recognised as a cultural monument. Clinker brickwork, ceramic decoration and granite bases give it a classic Hamburg character, while a basket-arch vault keeps the bridge unusually low. Cantilever arms rest on two-hinged frames that also serve as plate holders.
The bridge carries number 92 and forms part of a busy route with six lanes on Schleidenstraße. Its name honours Hamburg naturalist Matthias Jacob Schleiden, and extensive restoration has preserved the historic structure.
