Spittelkolonnaden, Baroque architectural structure at Marion-Gräfin-Dönhoff-Platz, Berlin, Germany.

The Spittelkolonnaden features two semi-circular open colonnades with Ionic columns, forming a decorative bridge structure near Spittelmarkt.

King Friedrich II of Prussia commissioned architect Carl Philipp von Gontard to construct these colonnades in 1776 over the southern fortress ditch.

The reconstructed southern colonnade incorporates original materials and replicated gable ornaments, representing late 18th-century Prussian architectural design.

Located near Leipziger Straße, the structure stands meters from its original position following reconstruction work completed in 1979.

A bronze plaque and historic milestone obelisk from 1730 mark the location where distances to Potsdam were measured.
