Since the fascinating Köhlbrand Bridge within the harbour of Hamburg (520 m long, 53 m high) was put into operation in the year 1974, 56 persons (47 males, 9 females, aged between 20 and 82 years) committed suicide by jumping from the bridge up to 1997. These suicides could not be prevented although video supervision of the bridge has been arranged and a police station is not far away. The suicides took place without any predictable frequency concerning time and season. However, after reports of spectacular cases within the media there was a tendency of suicidents to prefer the same manner of suicide, for instance in the year 1994. In recent time, a considerable number of suicidents did not jump from the very top of the bridge down into the water but hit to the ground after jumping from the access ramps. The special aim of this retrospective study included an analysis of the injury pattern (autopsy rate only 47%!) and special phenomenological and reconstructive aspects of the suicides.
自1974年汉堡港内迷人的科尔布兰德桥（长520米，高53米）投入使用以来，截至1997年，有56人（47名男性，9名女性，年龄在20至82岁之间）从该桥上跳下自杀。尽管已对该桥进行了视频监控且附近设有警察局，但这些自杀事件仍无法避免。自杀事件在时间和季节上没有任何可预测的频率。然而，在媒体报道了一些引人注目的案件后，自杀者有倾向于选择相同自杀方式的情况，例如在1994年。最近，相当数量的自杀者不是从桥的顶端直接跳入水中，而是从引桥上跳下后摔在地面上。这项回顾性研究的特别目的包括对损伤模式（尸检率仅47%！）以及自杀的特殊现象学和重建方面进行分析。
