Öffentliche Toilette Ludwigsbrücke is a small, single-storey building beside a bridge approach. It also carries the name WC Löwenbrücke. Created around 1910, it uses historicist forms shaped by the European fashion for chinoiserie. Plaster, limestone, and a hipped roof define its compact appearance.

The upper walls carry limestone frames, while exposed limestone forms the lower level beneath a small roof lantern. That lantern gives the practical building a clear silhouette. It stands near the grand staircase, grotto-style fountain, and obelisks with bronze lamps arranged around the bridge approach. Together, those elements combine stone, water, bronze, and movement. The bridge opened in 1895 and became known as Löwenbrücke because bronze lions guard both ends. War damage in 1945 led to its later reconstruction. The small structure still serves its original public purpose beside the bridge approach. Its limestone frames remain visible around the plastered upper walls. A small lantern rises from the roof ridge.
