Guided Story

This bridge you're crossing was opened in 1937. Known back then as the Neue Harburger Elbbrücke, it quickly became an essential part of the crossings over the Elbe. To your right, you'll notice the Europabrücke running parallel, just 27 meters away. On your left, about 30 meters northwest, stands the Alte Harburger Elbbrücke, now closed to road traffic. This bridge not only connects Hamburg-Harburg with Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg but also tells a story of Hamburg's transportation history. Originally planned as part of Hannoversche Straße, it's a significant example of the city's infrastructural development.
