Of course, people in the rescue helicopter don’t care about the elegance of the bridge they’re taken over after landing on the other side of the road. There are more important things. For example, short distances and fast infrastructure. The Bridge, Municipal Hospital, designed by caspar. and Werner Sobek, is first and foremost a lifesaver. It was officially opened in spring. We won the corresponding competition in summer 2020.

The bridge connects the Helipad of the Karlsruhe Municipal Hospital on this side of the four-lane Franz-Lust-Straße with the Helios Clinic for Cardiac Surgery opposite. Emergency patients arriving by helicopter can now be transported directly to the Helios Clinic. Patient transfers between the two clinics will also be easier, faster, and more comfortable.
