Construction and design

Fritz Schumacher had already designed the structural redesign of the Hamburg city park when he was a professor at the Dresden School of Applied Arts . According to him, the possibility of implementing his plans was a reason for his move to Hamburg as construction director. The Stadthallenbrücke and the surrounding masonry along the bank form an ensemble with the Saarlandstraßenbrücke (also Saarlandbrücke) opposite .

The clinker ceramics of the bridge railing come from the building ceramist Richard Kuöhl , who was also responsible for the design of the facade of the town hall. Schumacher got to know Kuöhl at the Dresden School of Applied Arts and, during his time as Hamburg's chief building director, regularly commissioned him to design decorations on newly constructed buildings.
