The New Mill-Bridge in Besigheim, Germany

In the small village of Besigheim, north of Stuttgart, a footbridge over the river Enz was built just in front of the historic, listed cityscape.

With a curved span of approximately 70m and inclined hanger cables just connected to the outer edge of the superstructure, the one-sided suspension bridge offers pedestrians a direct connection from the new-built park and garage to the medieval city-center, and cyclists to smoothly transfer from one river bank to the other.

The new footbridge, despite being a highly technical lightweight structure, respectfully considers the local context and carefully embraces the adjacent listed water mill. It hence contributes in form and function to the creation of the new park and playground at the riverbank, and it allows visitors for a new experience of the river and the historic cityscape.
