This elegant iron-framed pedestrian bridge, built between 1873 and 1875, connects the charming districts of Saggen and St. Nikolaus over the Inn River. Once simply called the Innsteg (Inn Bridge), it was renamed in 2003 in honor of French General Emile Béthouart to celebrate postwar reconciliation. The light, ornate bridge is perfect for leisurely strolls, photo opportunities, and bike rides. From here, you'll enjoy magnificent views of the Alps, the river, and the colorful houses along the riverbank. Visit the bridge at sunrise or sunset and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere!

Emile Béthouart Footbridge, Innsbruck Streets and squares are often named after important figures who have contributed to the common good of their fellow citizens. Younger Innsbruck residents, in particular, are probably puzzled to learn why the footbridge, which leads from the northern Hofgarten across the Inn River to St. Nicholas, is named after Marie Emile Antoine Béthouart (1889-1982). Béthouart, a French general, was Commander-in-Chief of the French occupation forces in Austria after World War II and High Commissioner of the French occupation forces in North Tyrol and Vorarlberg from 1946 to 1950. He always emphasized that he had come not as an occupier, but as a liberator, and advocated for an independent Austrian state. He had signs with the inscription "Autriche, pays ami" (Austria, friendly country) placed along the borders. He was highly commended for allowing the traditional rifle associations to participate in the Corpus Christi procession as an honor guard "with rifles" as early as 1947, "according to old Tyrolean traditions." In 1950, he even laid a wreath in front of the Andreas Hofer Memorial on the Bergisel. This despite the fact that Andreas Hofer fought against the French in 1809. The Liberation Memorial on Innsbruck's Landhausplatz, which, with the inscription PRO LIBERTATE AUSTRIAE MORTUIS, commemorates all those who died for Austria's freedom, is also his initiative. In 1960, General Béthouart received the Grand Decoration of Honor with Star for his services to the Republic of Austria. In 2003, the Innsteg Bridge was ceremoniously named after him by prominent figures and honorary formations from Austria and France.
