The Hafenbrücke , also known as Brücke (am) Alberthafen , in Dresden runs diagonally across the entrance to Alberthafen in the Friedrichstadt district . It consists of a wider road bridge to the west and a railway bridge , which are immediately adjacent and run parallel to each other.
The road bridge connects the Flügelweg in the west of Friedrichstadt with the Hafenweg in the Ostragehege . It is reserved for pedestrians and cars and, as part of the Elbe Cycle Route, also for cyclists. It is 10 meters high and has for motor vehicles, a headroom of 4.85 meters. Over the railway bridge, which was renovated and painted blue in the course of the Alberthafen conversion in 1996, a siding leads from the Dresden port railway to the loading tracks north of the port basin.
Both structures are iron truss bridges with the roadway or track at the bottom. They were built until 1894 according to plans by Claus Koepcke , who a few years earlier had also designed the Blue Wonder . The bridges make it difficult for ships to enter the Alberthafen, especially when the Elbe's water level is higher. The railway bridge is a little lower than the road bridge. For this reason, among other things, a new roll-on-roll-off system was built in 2006/07 between the harbor and wing bridge directly on the Elbe.
In autumn 2015, the bridge served as the backdrop for an attempted murder for the television film Tatort: The King of the Gutter .
