Under the bridge

            The Reichsbrücke 
The Reichsbrücke is one of the most famous bridges in Vienna. It crosses the Danube, the Danube Island and the New Danube and connects the 2nd district of Vienna, Leopoldstadt, with the 22nd district, Donaustadt. The building extends from Mexikoplatz on Handelskai (2nd district) in a northeasterly direction to Donau City and the Vienna International Center (22nd district).

Today's Reichsbrücke was opened in 1980; it is the third Danube crossing in the same axis, which bears the name Reichsbrücke. The first Reichsbrücke (also: Kronprinz-Rudolf-Brücke, as a project: Reichsstraße bridge), an iron river bridge on five pillars, existed from 1876 to 1937. The second Reichsbrücke, a chain bridge with two 30 meter high pylons on two river piers, was opened in 1937 ; alongside St. Stephen's Cathedral and the Ferris wheel, it was one of the symbols of the city of Vienna. After the Second World War it was the only intact Danube crossing in Austria downstream from Linz and developed into the busiest street section in Austria. On Sunday, August 1st, 1976, the bridge plunged into the water in the early hours of the morning on the full width of the Danube. A man died in the accident, which was not foreseeable with the state of the art at the time. The importance and the emotional charge that the bridge had received from the Viennese population through its eventful past increased further with the collapse. [
