Nossener Brücke is the name for four road bridges in the Dresden district of Südvorstadt . The bridges are together about 700 meters long and form part of the outer city ring of Dresden. Rebuilt after 1950 as a bridge for young people , it was given its name back in 1990 in reminiscence of the small Saxon town of Nossen in the district of Meißen , which gave its name to a significant part of this bridge before 1945.
location
The Nossener Bridge is located southwest of Dresden city center in the area of the "Altstadt II" district in the Südvorstadt. It leads the federal highway 173 from Löbtau to the intersection with the Budapester / Nürnberger Straße , where the B 173 turns towards the city center. It consists of four partial bridges. In its course it leads from west to east. The first partial bridge leads over Fabrikstrasse, the second bridge spans the outside area of the Nossener Brücke thermal power station . The overpass connects the tracks of the Dresden – Werdau railway line - the railway area here is approx. 100 meters wide. The last of the four bridges leads over Zwickauer Straße. Thus, several sections of the traffic train are called Nossener Bridge, although they do not represent a uniform bridge structure.
At Löbtauer Ebertplatz, the bridge connects to the Tharandter Straße and Kesselsdorfer Straße arteries . Over the Löbtau bridge , which connects to the Nossener bridge at Ebertplatz, traffic arrives in the direction of Emerich-Ambros-Ufer , Coventrystrasse and Flügelwegbrücke . At the eastern end of the bridge, the connection to the city center is established via Budapester Straße and via Nürnberger Straße to federal highway 170 . It is also possible to turn in the direction of the Plauen district .
history
Hohenzollern Bridge / Nossener Bridge (old)
The first bridge structure was opened in 1889 as the Hohenzollern Bridge . It was realized as a steel girder bridge and was first named Nossener Bridge around 1900. It was named after the Saxon town of Nossen , where the Altzella monastery is located. From there an old road, the Zellesche Weg, named after the monastery, led, for example, in the area of the Nossener Bridge to the monastery property in Leubnitz-Neuostra (this enabled the customs duties of the late medieval city to be avoided). The pre-war structure began at the level crossing with Zwickauer Straße, only bridged the railway line and led to the crossing with Fabrikstraße; Nürnberger Strasse led down from Chemnitzer Strasse in a steep incline to Zwickauer Strasse.
After the end of the Second World War , on the one hand the structure of the old Nossen bridge no longer met the requirements, on the other hand, the planning solution of a southern tangent ring was pursued: From 1959 it was replaced by the current reinforced concrete bridge (with further additions). Several buildings had to be demolished in the area of Oederaner Strasse. The intersection with Zwickauer Straße was abandoned and also replaced by a reinforced concrete bridge.
Bridge of Youth
The new construction began with the partial bridge over Zwickauer Strasse, which was built from 1959 to 1961. This was followed by the inauguration of the bridge over the power plant site in 1960 and the completion of the bridge over Fabrikstrasse in 1962. The partial bridge over the tracks was then built by 1964. The inauguration of the entire structure took place on June 28, 1964. The new bridge was named the Bridge of Youth .
The bridge of the youth was renovated after the fall of the wall in the 1990s and got its original name back. At the end of 1996, the approximately one kilometer long north-western connecting bridge, begun in 1989, was completed, which was later named Löbtau Bridge and is considered one of the few Dresden elevated roads . It is also colloquially assigned to the Nossener Bridge or referred to as the New Nossener Bridge (also known locally as the high-flyer ). After the completion of the Brams tunnel , the federal highway 173 was led over the Nossener bridge. In the summer months of 2001, 2006 and 2009, extensive repairs were necessary on the Nossener bridge; In 2010 the movements of the structure were measured for several months and a heavy load test was carried out. At the beginning of 2012 new damage occurred. In 2017, after bridge inspections due to damage, the lanes were rearranged, dispensing with parts of the southern cycle path and sidewalk on the part of the overpass over Fabrikstrasse, so from June 2019 the introduction of "Tempo 30" is ordered. Further restrictions have been announced.
New building plans
The Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe (DVB) are planning to relocate tram line 7 between the Tharandter Straße and Hauptbahnhof stops and cross the Nossener Bridge to relieve the often overcrowded bus route 61 . A tram line currently ends at the Nürnberger Ei, around one kilometer further south-east. In order to be able to connect it to the existing route on Kesselsdorfer Straße in Löbtau via the Nossener Bridge, a new construction of the Nossener Bridge is necessary, as the current structure is not designed for the use of trams according to information from the road and civil engineering department of the state capital Dresden is. [obsolete] DVB is planning to start construction by 2018 and complete by 2020. The city of Dresden had already planned a general renovation by 2020 and, according to press reports, is also aiming for a new building.
Furthermore, a new stopping point for the Dresden S-Bahn at the bridge was under discussion, which with the tram connection should form a new transfer point between trams and S-Bahn.
In mid-May 2014, the city council voted for the tram section from Nossener Brücke to Nürnberger Straße. At the request of the FDP, the necessity of the S-Bahn stop should be checked. At the end of 2014, negotiations with Deutsche Bahn about the S-Bahn stop were planned. The city council should position itself on this in early 2015. The considerations about the S-Bahn stop were dropped, they are no longer part of the planning.
The estimated cost of the new bridge was given in 2014 at 111 million euros. A total of 185 million euros has been earmarked for the new road from Löbtau to Strehlen. Less federal and state subsidies, the building is expected to cost the city of Dresden 70 million euros.
traffic
As part of the outer city ring, also known as the south-west tangent or western bypass, the bridge is built with four lanes throughout. The connection to Kesselsdorfer / Tharandter Straße is free of height . The Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe drive on the bridge with the bus route 61 (Löbtau - TV tower ). The regional traffic Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains runs its bus route 333 (old town - Niederschöna ) over the Nossener bridge.
