history

Könneritzbrücke Leipzig (2016)

The Könneritzbrücke was built in 1869 as a wooden bridge for the connection to the industrially up-and-coming Plagwitz. The material from the wooden bridge built in 1858 was used in place of today's Plagwitz bridge. In 1899 the wooden bridge, which in the meantime no longer met the requirements, was replaced by a highly modern iron structure in its current form. The Könneritzbrücke is now under protection as a technical monument and, with its eye-catching truss and arch construction made of riveted iron girders, forms an exceptionally striking image.

The steel truss bridge was extensively renovated by Mitteldeutsche Bergbau Service GmbH from May 2002 to November 13, 2002, with the entire construction being lifted out with a special crane, revised elsewhere and then reinserted by crane over the White Elster. A new orthotropic slab was built into the bridge as a deck . The substructures were retained. The repair costs amounted to approx. 900,000 EUR.
