Königsberger Bridges Institute
Königsberg · 1736
Seven bridges. One question.
Can you walk through the city and cross each bridge exactly once? Scroll to follow Euler's answer.
Bridge I of VII
Hohe Brücke

Land becomes a point. A bridge becomes a line.
Euler set aside distance and shape. Only the connections remain. This is the first graph.
Euler's answer
Every point is odd. No such walk exists.
A walk that crosses every bridge once needs at most two points with an odd number of bridges. Königsberg has four.
KBI adds four bridges
We bridge
- 1tech with design thinking
- 2ambitions to actions
- 3cultural and social divides
- 4academia and industry
Every point is now even
Now the walk exists.
Four new bridges, and Euler's impossible walk becomes possible. Continue to meet KBI.
