Tausendfüßler

The Tausendfüßler (German: millipede) was an elevated street in Düsseldorf.

The concept of the bridge was a kind of swinging Y: The traffic flowed (only in only direction) from the north on three tracks in a soft curve.

It was constructed in the years 1961 to 1962, following a concept of automotive mobility in Düsseldorf from the 1950s.

The Tausendfüßler belongs to a building ensemble from the early 1960s together with the Schauspielhaus Düsseldorf (City Theatre) and the Dreischeibenhaus (a skyscraper).

The architect of the Tausendfüßler was Friedrich Tamms, a professor on architecture and a member of the city council.
