The Ludwig-Hoffmann-Brücke ( ) is a road bridge in the Berlin district of Moabit in the Mitte district . It leads the Beusselstrasse over the Westhafenkanal . A first bridge was put into operation in 1939. The current structure was inaugurated in 2010.
location
The bridge is located between the Mörschbrücke and the Südliche Seestrassenbrücke . Together with the Goerdelerdamm Bridge, which is directly connected to the north, it connects the districts of Charlottenburg-Nord and Moabit across the Westhafenkanal and forms the structural end to harbor basin I. It can be reached from the Beusselstraße junction of the A 100 .
history
The first bridge crossing was made in 1930–1939 in connection with the expansion of the Westhafen as a storage area and freight port for the growing Berlin. The bridge was called the Königsdamm Bridge after the road that ran over it . In connection with the renaming of the street in Heckerdamm, the bridge was called Heckerbrücke until it was repaired after the war .
After damage in World War II , it was renewed in 1953. When it was re-inaugurated on November 2, 1953, it was given the name of the Berlin city planning officer Ludwig Hoffmann .
In 1995, a new building was put out to tender because the bridge required a greater headroom to enable two-layer shipping containers to be transported. In addition, the canal was simultaneously widened and deepened as part of the German Unity Transport Project 17 . The Berlin Senate awarded the contract for the bridge planning to the Krebs + Kiefer company , which divided it into three planning sections. The Berlin company Klähne Ingenieure was responsible for the project, structural and implementation planning. Construction by Strabag began in September 2008. The Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration , represented by the Berlin Waterways Construction Office, was responsible for the hydraulic engineering measures. The western half of the new structure was completed by May 2009, for which the Beusselstrasse route was swiveled. The eastern part of the bridge was opened to traffic on November 26, 2009. The last work to complete the footpaths and cycle paths lasted until 2010. The replacement of the bridge cost almost six million euros , which came from the fund for the German Unity transport projects.
Further technical data
The bridge is 34.24 meters wide, of which 33.74 meters between the railing parts. A web of 25 centimeters overhang remains on both sides.
The traffic structure is a girder bridge made of reinforced concrete that rests on clinker abutments on the canal bank. The abutments that existed from the renovation in 1955 were renovated, re-anchored, raised and then used again. Each of the two bridge superstructures consists of six welded steel girders and a deck made of reinforced concrete. The western superstructure has three car lanes, the eastern superstructure even has four lanes. On both sides there is an approximately two meter wide footpath and a divided bicycle path.
Pipes and cables for water and energy run under the bridge.
