Hofweg Bridge

Hofweg Bridge as seen from the Uhlenhorster Canal

With the Hofwegbrücke , the Hofweg in the Uhlenhorst district of Hamburg crosses the Uhlenhorster Canal near the Hofweg Canal .

The Hofweg was designed as the main shopping street for the residents of Uhlenhorst and led to the Uhlenhorster Hof , from which the name of the street is derived. Originally there was a wooden bridge at this point. Between 1891 and 1895, the Hofwegbrücke, together with the bridges on Sierichstraße, Körnerstraße and Am Langenkamp, also from this period, were replaced by iron girder and arch bridges .

The girder bridge built in 1894 is listed as a cultural monument in the list of monuments of the Hamburg Authority for Culture and Media with the number 20969 .
