The Lavesbrücke in the Welfengarten in Hanover is one of originally two pedestrian bridges in the Welfengarten in the north of the city . The bridges were constructed in 1843-46 with the participation of the leading architect of the Kingdom of Hanover - Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves - to cross the former graft. The bridge was built during the existence of Montbrillant Castle , the predecessor of the Welfenschloss .

The pedestrian bridge is supported by the " Laves beam" , a lens mount whose invention is attributed to Laves.
