Hackerbrücke - The most important information at a glance
Monument: With its historic iron construction, the Hackerbrücke bridge is an important piece of architecture from the 19th century.
History: Its name comes from the Munich brewery Hacker-Pschorr, which had its headquarters near the bridge for a long time.
Year of construction:The bridge was built between 1890 and 1894.
Function: It connects the main route of the S-Bahn (suburban trains) with the Central Bus Station ZOB.
Sunset: Especially in the summer, people enjoy here what many consider the most beautiful sunset in the city.
Oktoberfest: During the Oktoberfest on nearby Theresienwiese, the Hackerbrücke has an important function for visitors, because then no cars are allowed to drive there in the evenings and on weekends.
Architectural monument with important transport links
The Hacker Bridge is something special - this is not only due to its striking curved arch construction. It is also one of the few preserved bridges constructed of wrought iron in the 19th century and is included in the list of architectural monuments.
The bridge is located in the Ludwigsvorstadt district and it connects Landsberger with Arnulfstrasse. It is one of the important traffic links in the city center, although its importance has diminished somewhat since the construction of the Mittlerer Ring.
Today its function for public transport is almost more important. The Hackerbrücke station of the main S-Bahn railway line is the last (or first) above-ground station outside of the tunnel. At the northern end of the bridge is also the Central Bus Station (ZOB).

Architecture and history of the Hackerbrücke
A few more technical and historical details about the bridge:
Hackerbrücke consists of six riveted arch girders, each of which is about 28 meters long and 8 meters high.
The roadway itself is about 7 meters wide, the sidewalks are located outside the arches.
During World War II, the bridge was severely damaged, and it was not until 1953 that it was reconstructed.
A thorough renovation took place between 1983 and 1984.
