The Moldauhafenbrücke

© Schüßler-Plan / DKFS Architects

First construction project in the new Grasbrook district takes shape

The northern part of the new Grasbrook urban development area, the so-called Moldauhafenquartier, forms a peninsula in the Norderelbe and is mainly surrounded by water. Bridges therefore play a central role as connecting routes, both for internal and external development. This includes the new Moldauhafenbrücke, which connects Moldauhafenquartier with Hafentorquartier and is protected from flooding and is primarily designed for pedestrian and cycle traffic. The design competition organized by HafenCity Hamburg GmbH in agreement with the Department of Urban Development and Housing was decided at the end of 2022. The winners were Schüßler-Plan Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH (Berlin) and DKFS Architects (London). Construction of Moldauhafenbrücke is due to start in 2027.

competition organizers:
HafenCity Hamburg GmbH in agreement with the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing, the Ministry of Transport and Mobility, the Hamburg-Mitte district and the State Office for Bridges and Waterways
