Stößenseebrücke, Steel truss road bridge in Wilhelmstadt, Berlin, Germany.
The Stößenseebrücke is a steel truss road bridge in Berlin-Spandau that crosses the Stößensee and the Havelchaussee below. Its solid steel framework has defined the landscape for over a century.
Karl Bernhard designed the bridge in 1908, with construction finished in 1909 during Berlin's industrial growth period. It became part of the infrastructure connecting the rapidly expanding western districts.
The bridge links two Berlin districts and shows how early 20th-century engineering brought people and places together. Many Berliners cross it daily without noticing how much it shaped the city's growth.
The bridge sits along Heerstraße and is easily reached by car, bicycle, or on foot from both sides. Parking near the site is limited, but multiple pathways lead to it from the surrounding area.
The southwestern pillar has become known among climbers as an unofficial climbing spot. This steep steel column draws people annually who want to test their climbing skills.
