The Hänischbrücke in Hanover is a bridge over the Leine at the level of the tram depot of the Stadtbahn on the Glocksee in Calenberger Neustadt and as an extension of the Lodyweg in the northern part of Hanover.

history

A first bridge in place of today's Hänischbrücke was built around 1916 at the time of the German Empire and in the middle of the First World War : The construction served the tramway from the Glocksee to cross to the Leinehafen , as it did not have its own railway connection. Instead, mainly coal and molding sand for Hanomag were transferred from the ships to the tram, which then crossed the fully loaded line over the wooden bridge.

There is no separate entry for the naming of today's Hänischbrücke in Helmut Zimmermann's standard work The Street Names of the State Capital Hanover . From 1932 has been associated with the construction of the Mittellandkanal , however, a glass plates - negative at the Lower Saxony State Archive (Hanover) with the naming of the bridge received the title construction of the Mittellandkanal: foam masses in Leinearm (Hänischbrücke), Hannover-Calenberger Neustadt

At the time of National Socialism , around 1935, the later Lodystraße was laid out from Jägerstraße to Am Moritzwinkel and continued up to the Hänischbrücke.

During the air raids on Hanover in World War II , the Hänisch Bridge was badly damaged by aerial bombs . But already in the post-war period, shortly after the start of the British military government from August 8, 1945, and into 1953, the Hanover City Archives received construction drawings and correspondence relating to the repair of the bridge.
