The street Eppendorfer Baum crosses the Isebek Canal over the Eppendorfer Bridge . The bridge thus connects the three Hamburg districts of Hoheluft-Ost , Harvestehude and Eppendorf .
The 21.10 m long and 22.93 m wide arched bridge is faced with clinker bricks and rests on granite bases .
As a result of a law that came into force in 1925 to promote and support visual artists, numerous state buildings were decorated with contemporary art up to 1933 - including the Eppendorfer Bridge. Its wrought iron railing shows stylized fish and was designed by the painter and sculptor Richard Haizmann .
