The Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge connects the beach (Südstrandpromenade) with the South Quarter.

The design scheme was created by Ernst Troschel, construction was executed by MAN Nuremberg.

The bridge has a length of 159 metres (522 ft) and a width of 8 m. The two pillars are 20.4 m tall.

In 2007, Deutsche Post released a 1.45-euro stamp to commemorate the centennial of the bridge.
