Lady-Herkomer Footbridge (Landsberg am Lech)

Highlight • Bridge

The Lady-Herkomer-Steg not only connects two sides of the river, but also marks a decisive step towards the turnaround in mobility and the city vision of Landsberg 2035. The building, which was subsidized by ehret+klein with €1.3 million, will in future not only serve to provide fast and car-free crossing of the Lech, but also creates a direct connection between the old town of Landsberg and urban life on the Papierbach. A win for both sides!

View of the Karolinenwehr and the Old Town of Landsberg am Lech

Highlight • Monument

The Lechner is called the Karolinenwehr.
The Karolinenwehr is a four-stage weir of the Lech near the old town of Landsberg am Lech.

To the right of the weir system, which was probably built in 1364, is the Mühlbach, which used to drive mills and is now used to generate electricity. The originally single-stage weir was severely damaged several times by floods and was expanded in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries by installing additional stages. The weir has been rebuilt several times over the past decades, most recently between 1993 and 1996.
A bypass existed for rafting, on which rafts were led around the weir over the wooden plank route of the "long journey" for a fee. After rafting declined in the 20th century, the "long journey" was canceled in the 1970s.

“… Karolinenbrücke – named after Max I Joseph’s wife. The bridge is of course much older, as it formed the basis for Landsberg's wealth from the salt trade. Thankfully, Henry the Lion also localized its route in Landsberg. And for which the city collected customs. When Max I Joseph inaugurated the bridge on January 1, 1806, it was far more representative than before. After Max's merger with Napoleon, it led to Swabia, which had finally become Bavarian. Architect Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking created a bridge with gallant central arches - which was dilapidated after just seven years. In 1910 it was destroyed by the flood, in 1930 it was widened and in 1952 the present bridge was built. ...”

Sandauer Gate

Highlight • Monument

The northern end of the city wall is the Sandauer Tor, which was built in 1630 in the existing city wall. The name of the gate was chosen after a small market spot that was partially destroyed in the urban war in the 14th century and a quarter of an hour downstream. Because of many arson, the residents of Sandau settled on the Vorderen and Hintere Anger. The renewed expansion of the city became necessary in order to offer the new citizens protection within the wall.

Beautiful mountain bike tour with many trail sections. The path from km 14.2 to km 19 directly on the water becomes very demanding, sometimes the bike has to be carried briefly.
