Thirty-Six Views Of The Tausendfüßler

Project Announcement

This site will be dedicated to documenting the outstanding and powerful urban presence of the Tausendfüßler Bridge in Düsseldorf, Germany, which is in danger of demolition right now. Unfortunately, one of the key points of its architecture, the crossing at Jan-Wellem-Platz, has been the site of a subway construction effort for over a year now, so that place cannot be shown in its original state, rather reflecting a state of decay which is both result and premonition of what is going to happen to it.
