For the new construction of the pedestrian and cycle path bridge at Giesinger Berg in Munich, following the solution proposal dated 21.06.2022, the contract was awarded on 06.12.2022 to the bidding consortium Mayr, Ludescher, Partner Beratende Ingenieure PartGmbB with karlundp Gesellschaft von Architekten mbH. Based on the preliminary planning by the engineering firm Mayr-Ludescher, the lighting system for the bridge and the street space below will be re-conceptualised.

The central aim is the safe, comfortable and intuitively understandable guidance of pedestrian and cycle traffic. The lighting design takes into account urban development and design aspects, as well as energy efficiency, ease of maintenance, glare limitation, and the protection of nature and the environment.

The lighting is provided by luminaires integrated into the handrail with a light point height of approx. 0.85 m and a very warm light colour of 2200 K. The asymmetric light distribution ensures uniform illumination of the path with low facial glare and no direct light emission into the upper half-space. Light spill beyond the structure is consistently minimised.

Particular attention is paid to nature conservation: Due to the exposed location on the high banks of the Isar, light radiation occurring to the side and below the bridge is significantly reduced, with short-wave (blue) light specifically avoided to protect insects and bats.
