Telekom-Bridge

Early 2009, Europe’s largest telecommunications company Deutsche Telekom AG decided to build a pedestrian bridge connecting two office blocks across a major traffic pathway in Bonn. The deck of the bridge is supported by only five slender steel columns and stretches over 74 metres forming one grand curve above the busy road.

A dynamic lighting concept with interactive elements orchestrates the sweeping filigree architecture of the bridge and follows the client’s company slogan: staff members and the public can now “Experience the Connection” on the bridge. A particularly clear reference to Telekom AG is achieved by its CI colour Magenta.
