history

Old Nussdorf Bridge

Nussdorf was already the location of the first Viennese Danube bridge in the late Middle Ages. At the height of the city ​​of Vienna , the Danube was so branched and swampy that a transition was not possible (in fact, the city was a good distance from the main course of the Danube on the Vienna River, today's Danube Canal was a small tributary). In July 1439, King Albrecht II granted the Viennese the right to build a bridge which, as a multi-part structure, was supposed to span the main arms of the Danube beginning near Nussdorf. This bridge was the first Danube bridge in the Duchy of Austria ( Krems / Mautern 1463, Linz 1479, Mauthausen bei Enns 1505).

The wolffsprucken then measured a length of 260  paces on 13  yokes , the long ones (corresponding to today's north bridge ) 30 yokes and 500 paces.

From 1688 to 1698 the Tabor Bridge was built and the Wolf Bridge was moved downstream. This also created the village of Zwischenbrücken and a thoroughfare between the bridges.

Construction of today's bridge

The Nussdorf Bridge was built in 1962–1964 for traffic flowing into the city as an extension of the north bridge  (A22) crossing the Danube and, like this, opened on December 19, 1964. The 202-meter-long arched bridge crosses the Danube Canal at an angle of 37 degrees and flows into the Nussdorfer Lände (B227). The prestressed concrete bridge was planned by Wilhelm Gutmannsthal-Krizanits and built by P. Auteried & Co.
