Description

As part of the redesign of the Karl-Benz place the two pedestrian birdges improved  the connection between the public transport (bus, suburban train and railway) and the public facilities, working-places and schools. 
The confined situation of the area made it necessary to adjust structurally and formally the pedestrian bridges.
A light construction, made of steel columns which branch off towards the deck, was well adapted to the situation.
