Three-Span Folding Kiel-Hörn Bridge , Kiel, Germany

Inspired by its surroundings and the strength of the ships that cruise the harbor, the Kiel-Hörn Bridge operates with simple drive mechanisms that ensure robustness, speed, and high-tech resilience required for frequent use. Since its completion in 1997, the bridge settled in its place serving countless passersby and ships.

Sven Plieninger talks us through the structural solutions and motivations behind this project.
