Alfred-Lion-Steg, Pedestrian steel bridge in Tempelhof-Schöneberg, Germany.
Description
The Alfred-Lion-Steg is a steel footbridge measuring approximately 93 meters long that connects the districts of Schöneberg and Tempelhof across railway tracks. The structure includes stairs and ramps on both sides for access.
History
The bridge was completed in 2012 and connects two districts that were previously separated by railway lines. Its opening created a new pedestrian and cyclist connection between the two neighborhoods.
Culture
The bridge is named after Alfred Lion, a Berlin native who went on to found Blue Note Records in New York and shaped jazz music globally. The name serves as a reminder of the city's connection to international music history.
Practical
The crossing is accessible to all visitors with wide stairs on both sides and ramps for wheelchairs and cyclists. The bridge is open daily and offers a straightforward way to cross over the tracks.
Did you know?
When naming the bridge, officials debated honoring either Alfred Lion or Hertha Block, a librarian who resisted the Nazi regime. The choice ultimately went to the music producer and founder of Blue Note Records.
