About "Hangman's Bridge over the Pegnitz"

by Thomas Riess

About the artwork

In 1457, a wooden footbridge was built for pedestrians over the southern outflow of the Pegnitz at the penultimate city wall. It was named Henkersteg (Hangman's Bridge) after the hangman's tower, the former residence of the city's hangman on the Säumarkt (today: Trödelmarkt). During the flood of 1595, ice and ice jams caused damage to the bridges over the Pegnitz. The collapse of the Hangman's Bridge at the end of January 1595 cost the lives of eight onlookers when they were swept away with the bridge by the floods. After the flood, three arches of the city wall of the penultimate city fortification were torn down and the Henkersteg was rebuilt further west as a roofed wooden footbridge; since then, the southern end of the footbridge flows into the Unschlittplatz. In 1657, 1671, 1761 and 1776 the Hen-kersteg was renewed or rebuilt. After severe war damage, the footbridge was reconstructed in 1954. In 2000, it became one of the stops on Nuremberg's Historic Mile, which was created on the occasion of the city's 950th anniversary.
