location
The Geyerbrücke is located in the Isarvorstadt along the Kapuzinerstraße, which runs along the southern edge of the Altes Südfriedhof . It leads over the Westermühlbach , which flows north along the east side of the cemetery.
history
A wooden bridge over the Westermühlbach and the Pesenbach was built in 1856/57 at the site of the current bridge , into which the Große Stadtbach was divided a few 100 m further south and which were still close to each other here. When the Wittelsbacherbrücke was built in 1874 , it was clear that the old wooden bridge would not be able to cope with the increasing traffic. Therefore it was replaced by a stone arch bridge, which was widened again in 1904. At the beginning of the 20th century the streams were completely vaulted. The vaults have been open again since 2008.
