Röhrenbrücke (Munich)
The Röhrenbrücke was a bridge in Munich . The bridge was a simple wooden Pfahljoch bridge over which water pipes were laid, through which the Munich residence was supplied with spring water from the other side of the Isar.
location
The bridge led from the right bank of the Isar near Haidhausen , where the Brunnhaus was located in Brunnthal, over the Kleine Isar to the Praterinsel , i.e. a little south of today's outer Maximiliansbrücke .
history
In 1599 the Bavarian dukes had acquired the Brunnhaus in Brunnthal. The water was first led in a pipe over the Isar bridge, which meant a long detour. In the period up to 1632, a separate tubular bridge was therefore built over the Kleine Isar in order to direct the water from the Brunnhaus over the Isar on a more direct route to the residence. The existing Abreching was used to cross the Great Isar .
The footbridge was passable for pedestrians, but access to the footbridge was blocked. In 1744 Austrian soldiers managed to get over the Röhrenbrücke and Abbruch to the left side of the Isar and thus also to conquer the Isar Bridge.
The tubular bridge was not opened to public pedestrian traffic until the beginning of the 19th century, and around 1873 it was demolished.
