Discover more about Bahnhofsbrücke

Bahnhofsbrücke, an iconic landmark in Rostock's Warnemünde, seamlessly blends historical charm with modern appeal. Constructed in 1903 as a swing bridge, it originally allowed ships to navigate the Alter Strom (Old Stream) to Rostock's harbor. As the city's harbor expanded and the Neuer Strom (New Stream) was created, the bridge's swinging function became obsolete, allowing uninterrupted passage for pedestrians. Today, Bahnhofsbrücke serves as a vital pedestrian link between the Warnemünde train station and the heart of the town. Each season, over 20,000 people cross the bridge, immersing themselves in Warnemünde's lively atmosphere. The bridge offers stunning views of fishing boats and excursion vessels along the Alter Strom, complemented by cozy shops and traditional stalls. More recently, the bridge has become a symbol of love, with couples attaching padlocks to the railings as a sign of their commitment. Whether you're seeking picturesque scenery, local culture, or a romantic backdrop, Bahnhofsbrücke provides a memorable experience in this remarkable coastal town.
