Final Moment of the Male Group
The Herrenstrietsteg bridge, connecting the residential area of Herrenstriet with the industrial area in the Brotzinger Valley, has been closed for safety reasons. The city of Pforzheim has identified the need for a replacement due to the bridge's outdated design and deteriorating condition.
Originally built in 1964 as a filigree prestressed concrete construction, the bridge has undergone renovations twice since then. However, recent investigations have revealed damage to the prestressing cables of the supporting structure, making a reliable renovation no longer possible.
To ensure crossing over the Enz at the Herrenstrietsteg point, a temporary construction will be installed in mid-September. This measure will remain in place until a new bridge is built.
The proposed replacement plan involves constructing a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge at the same location. The new bridge is designed to provide improved safety, durability, and accessibility, while maintaining the connection across the Herrenstriet stream. The city aims to complete the replacement within the next few years, pending final approvals and funding.
The city of Pforzheim is considering using a standardized bridge structure to speed up the replacement construction. This decision is still under discussion and will be presented to the city council in the near future.
For those who use the Enztalradweg, an alternative route will be provided during the construction period. The city encourages cyclists and pedestrians to follow the detour signs for their safety.

The city of Pforzheim is contemplating utilizing a standardized bridge structure from the finance industry to expedite the replacement construction, aiming to enhance transportation across the Herrenstriet stream. The new bridge, once completed, will contribute to the safety and accessibility of both pedestrians and cyclists in the industries of both transportation and finance.
