construction

Shortly after completion

The Bellevue Bridge was built by Hamburg's chief building director Fritz Schumacher and completed in 1930. A statue of an Alster swan with a boy rests on a pedestal above the bridge . The swan was designed by the sculptor and building ceramist Richard Kuöhl , who also developed the clinker ceramic on the bridge railing.

Richard Kuöhl had met Fritz Schumacher as a student at the Dresden School of Applied Arts , where he was professor between 1901 and 1909. Schumacher preferred to entrust Kuöhl with the design of decorations for the bridges built under him.

The Bellevue Bridge is clinkered over the whole area and rests on granite bases . Due to its basket arch , it has a low construction height .

The bridge is 21.30 m long, has the bridge number 192 and the structure number 2426207.

The Bellevue Bridge is named after the Bellevue street that crosses the Goldbek Canal with it . At this point the Goldbek Canal meets the Rondeel Canal, which connects the Rondeel pond with the Alster . The entire site originally belonged to the Hamburg councilor Adolph Sierich , who had it filled up for development in 1864.
