Borsigsteg, Steel footbridge in Moabit, Germany
The Borsigsteg spans across the Spree River with its steel truss construction, connecting the Dortmunder Strasse with the Flensburger Strasse in Berlin.
Engineers Bruno Möhring and Friedrich Krause designed this pedestrian bridge in 1904, which was completed in 1906 and later destroyed during World War II.
The bridge received its name from August Borsig, an industrialist who established manufacturing facilities and created a botanical garden in the surrounding area.
The structure served as a crucial link between residential neighborhoods, allowing workers to reach the Borsig factories on both sides of the river.
Cast iron Art Nouveau lanterns and candelabras decorated the bridge portals, enhancing the architectural design between Schleswiger Ufer and Flensburger Strasse.
