The "Landesgartenschau" New Footbridge over the Neckar River and railroad tracks in Rottweil, pivotal to the 2028 State Garden Show, enhances urban integration and revitalizes the Neckar meander. This elegant bridge invites visitors to engage with the town's landscape from new perspectives, harmoniously connecting the historic city center to the new river landscape.

Spanning 175 meters with a clear width of 3.50 meters, it features seating and balconies along its length, accommodating both pedestrians and cyclists with a gentle gradient. Constructed using a steel superstructure supported by steel columns on reinforced concrete foundations, the V-shaped supports enhance structural rigidity and minimize visual impact. Materials emphasize durability and efficiency, using CO2-reduced steel and wood for tactile elements, highlighting environmental responsibility.

The integrated lighting system uses energy-efficient, insect-friendly LEDs controlled by presence detectors and timers. The four-phase construction process minimizes disruption to railroad operations, requiring only a brief closure during the final phase. High-quality materials and a semi-integral design reduce maintenance costs, ensuring a service life of up to 110 years for concrete and 100 years for steel. Enhanced corrosion protection extends durability.

The "Landesgartenschau" New Footbridge project fulfills its functional role while becoming a landmark that enhances Rottweil's aesthetic and cultural landscape, embodying sustainability, social integration, and historical appreciation.
