The Second Ausschläger Bridge is a road bridge in the Hamburg district of Hammerbrook . The bridge built in 1903 leads the Ausschläger Weg over the southern canal .

Two bridges lead the Ausschläger Weg over the central and southern canals . They were built ten years apart. The second Auschläger bridge is the larger of the two with a length of 28 meters. Its steel arches are supported by concrete abutments and wings. The latter are faced with shell limestone , basalt lava and Bockhorn clinker.

The name of the Ausschläger Weg goes back to the Low German term "Utslag". This denotes the land that lies seaward in front of the dike . The area previously used by farmers in this area as pastureland was flooded by the Elbe and the Bille in winter .

As a reminiscence of the quarter's past as a working-class district, the Austrian artist Alfred Hofmann created two figures as shell sculptures that were placed on the bridge: two children with their mother represented “calm” and a worker with a hammer stood as “work” for the working people . The former figure was destroyed in World War II.

The bridge is registered by the authority for culture and media with the number 13804 in the list of Hamburg's cultural monuments.
