Guided Story

Standing here at the Glacisbrücke, you're at the newest of Ingolstadt's four Danube road bridges, completed between 1996 and 1998. This bridge plays a crucial role in the city's ring road system and the B13 highway. Imagine the flow of around 50,000 vehicles crossing it daily. The name, chosen with input from Ingolstadt's citizens, reflects the former fortress belt, now a park, surrounding the old town. Nearby, just a short walk southeast, you'll find the Luitpoldpark, offering a green escape in the urban landscape.
