Teuer & Ohne Anschluss? Die Wahrheit über die Da-Vinci-Brücke

Is the new Da Vinci Bridge in Heidelberg a €20.5 million prestige project with no real benefit, or the beginning of a new cycling era? 🚲🏗️ It opened on December 18, 2025: 6 meters wide, modern architecture, and yet it's facing a barrage of criticism. The accusation: It leads nowhere. In this video, we take a look at the reality on site and why the critics are missing the bigger picture. We analyze: The technical data: Why 6 meters of width and separate pedestrian walkways must be the new standard. The missing connection: Why the bridge is only half a wheel without the planned Neckar crossing. The forecast: Up to 11,000 bicycle trips will use the connection daily. The comparison: Does it already feel like cycling in the Netherlands or Copenhagen? 00:00 Intro 00:33 Two Projects, One Goal 00:48: The Da Vinci Bridge 01:32: Criticism of the Bridge 02:46: The New Neckar Crossing 05:00: Regional Significance 05:55: My Conclusion Is the criticism from the ADFC (General German Bicycle Club) and the Radentscheid (Cycling Referendum) justified, or do we simply need more patience for the transport revolution?
