The Praterwehrbrücke is located east of downtown Munich and connects the west bank of the Isar with the Praterinsel . There is a weir under the bridge that dams the Isar. The difference in height, which is caused by this weir, is used by the Prater power plant. The Praterwehrbrücke is the only bridge over which the Praterinsel can be reached by motor vehicle. The Mariannenbrücke , the Wehrsteg and the Kabelsteg are only pedestrian bridges and the Maximiliansbrücke , only 50 meters north of the Praterwehrbrücke, only spans the island. A statue of St. Nepomuk , the patron of the raftsmen, stands on a bridge pillar .
