    The bridge is colloquially known as "Katzenbuckel" (Cat's Hump) because of its shape. After an initial curve, it rises extremely steeply over the water, resembling a cat's hump. The 180-meter-long, white pedestrian bridge spans the Rhine promenade in Mülheim South and the harbor. With its extremely steep, semicircular ascent, it presents a challenge for every jogger. The architect envisioned a dinosaur with a slender neck when designing the prestressed concrete bridge. However, the locals in Mülheim were reminded more of a cat's hump, and so this name has stuck.
