Eiserne Bridge, Metal bridge in Mitte, Germany
Description
The Eiserne Bridge carries traffic across a small Spree River tributary in central Berlin's Mitte district. Both cars and pedestrians use this crossing to move between the neighborhoods on either side of the waterway.
History
Wehrmacht soldiers destroyed the bridge in April 1945 during the Battle of Berlin to block Soviet forces advancing across the river. Reconstruction after the war restored the crossing for civilian and vehicle traffic.
Culture
The bridge stands near several educational institutions, including the German Historical Museum and Anne Frank Centre, which document German history.
Practical
The bridge is open to both vehicles and foot traffic with public transportation connections nearby. You can easily include it in a walk through central Berlin as it sits on well-traveled routes connecting major neighborhoods.
Did you know?
Located at specific coordinates 52.51935 latitude and 13.397438 longitude, the bridge underwent reconstruction after World War II to restore its function.
