The new bridge connects the historic center of Radofzell with the shore of the Bodensee. It is an efficient as well as elegant structure, which is held by two torsion boxes on the inside of the gently sloping access ramps doubling as bench. The ramp facing the lake forms a balcony over the water from where the passer-by can enjoy views across the lake towards the Swiss alps.
The international competition attracted proposals from leaders in their field like Wilkinson Eyre Architects and Schlaich Bergermann und Partner, Stuttgart. Negotiations are intended to start soon.
