The Feenteichbrücke is a road bridge in the Hamburg district of Uhlenhorst . The bridge was designed by Franz Andreas Meyer and is listed in the list of monuments of the Hamburg cultural authority with the number 20568 as a cultural monument.

construction

Since 1861 a wooden bridge crossed the connection between Feenteich and the Outer Alster. It was replaced in 1884 by a stone bridge based on a design by the civil engineer Franz Andreas Meyer, which has been preserved in its former form to this day.

Lion with Hamburg coat of arms

In the construction of the Feenteichbrücke , components were used that came from the Brooksbrücke and Kornhausbrücke , which were demolished and rebuilt in the course of the redesign of the Hamburg port by Meyer, and the simultaneous construction of the Speicherstadt . The Kornhaussbrücke was not completed until 1872. The granite parapet and the four pillars to the left and right of the bridge piers come from her, each of which carries a lantern.

Two lion sculptures come from the Brooksbrücke , which stand in the water on the Alster side and hold the Hamburg coat of arms between their paws. The elaborate parapets of the Feenteichbrücke have pointed arch-like recesses and are framed by pillars at the ends.

The Feenteichbrücke has the bridge number 172 and the structure number 2426 219. It is 7 m long and 15.6 m wide, and stands on a concrete foundation . The wing walls, clad with field stone, are also essentially made of concrete.

Name and location

The bridge is named after the street Am Feenteich . It leads the street Schöne Aussicht over the connection between the Feenteich and the Alster . The guest house of the Senate of Hamburg is located directly on the bridge .
