Title:
Abstract:	Fritz Leonhardt (1909-1999) hat sich in den nahezu sieben Jahrzehnten seines beruflichen Schaffens auf vielen Gebieten des Bauingenieurwesens hohe Anerkennung erworben. Sein besonderes Interesse galt dem Brückenbau. Unvergessen sind Leonhardt s innovative Vorschläge und Bauten, die den Spannbeton- und Schrägseilbrückenbau in der deutschen Nachkriegszeit maßgeblich beeinflusst haben. Weniger bekannt ist, dass Leonhardt bereits vor 1945 an mehreren großen Bauvorhaben beteiligt war. Zwei dieser Projekte sollen hier herausgegriffen und näher beleuchtet werden: der Bau der Hängebrücke Köln-Rodenkirchen (1938-1941) und die in den selben Jahren von Leonhardt erarbeiteten Entwürfe für eine Hängebrücke über die Elbe in Hamburg. Fritz Leonhardt as a Young Engineer - Early Experiences in Long Span Bridge Design and Construction Fritz Leonhardt (1909-1999) worked almost seven decades as a civil engineer. His contributions made him famous and well recognized world wide. He was especially interested in bridge design and construction. Well known are his innovative concepts which have influenced significantly the design of post-tensioned concrete structures and cable-stayed bridges in post war Germany. Less known is the fact that Leonhardt already participated in major projects before 1945. Two of those projects are selected and described here: the construction of the suspension bridge Cologne-Rhodenkirchen (1938-1941) and his designs for the Elbe suspension bridge in Hamburg (1938-1941).
