The Marko Feingold Bridge: A historical connection

The Marko Feingold Bridge (before 2020 it was called Makart Bridge), named after Holocaust survivor Marko Feingold, is a unique pedestrian bridge that spans majestically over the Salzach River. It connects the old town of Salzburg with the Mülln district and is much more than just an ordinary bridge - it is a symbol of overcoming and remembering history.

Historical Significance

The bridge is a living memorial to Marko Feingold and all Holocaust victims. Marko Feingold was the president of the Salzburg Jewish Community and a Holocaust survivor. The bridge commemorates his life story and his efforts to keep the memory of the terrible events of World War II alive.

viewpoints and sights

One of the highlights of the Marko Feingold Bridge is undoubtedly the breathtaking view it offers. From here you can enjoy the majestic view of the Hohensalzburg Fortress and enjoy Salzburg's old town. It is the perfect place to take souvenir photos and capture the beauty of the city.

Architectural beauty

Apart from its historical significance, the Marko Feingold Bridge also impresses with its modern and elegant architecture. The stylish steel structures and the clear design blend harmoniously into the surroundings and offer a unique view of the city. Particularly striking are the many castles that loved the steel bars hanging. Usually their names are engraved on them.

The bridge is worth visiting at any time of year, but it is especially at its most beautiful in spring and summer. If you visit the bridge in the evening, you can experience the magical atmosphere of the city at sunset.
