May 31, 2026, Iller Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge (Kempten)

The Illersteg spans the Iller in Kempten (Allgäu). It is intended for pedestrians and cyclists and is the only bridge between the St.-Mang-Brücke and the northern bridge of the Mittlerer Ring. The Illersteg disaster refers to the collapse of a footbridge into the Iller, in which six people died and around 200 were injured. On September 29, 1946, American soldiers organized a festival in the Illerstadion in Kempten for children marked by World War II and the post-war period. Previously, vouchers for sweets and fairground rides had been distributed in schools. Around 25,000 people streamed into the Illerstadion that day. Around 3:45 p.m., when about 800 people were on the Illersteg, it collapsed. Six people died and around 200 were injured.

We were lucky enough to be allowed inside, and the gentleman who got everything working again and now maintains it proudly gave us a demonstration of the almost 100-year-old pumps and the accompanying waterwheel 👍. A huge thank you again for that!!! ...

Fantastic! On a clear day with a blue sky, you have the entire Alpine panorama in front of you – including the Zugspitze. A postcard couldn't depict it better.
