Baumgartenbrücke, Road bridge in Schwielowsee and Werder, Germany

The Baumgartenbrücke spans across the Potsdam Havel River, connecting the towns of Geltow and Petzow along Federal Road 1.

The first wooden bridge at this location was constructed in 1676 under Friedrich Wilhelm, replacing an earlier ford and ferry crossing point.

The bridge location features sculptor Stephan Walter's animal figures, including otters that were restored to their historical position in 1994.

The current concrete bridge, built in 1989, accommodates two-way traffic and provides access points for cyclists using the European Cycle Route 1.

During the 18th century, the bridge's eastern side housed a customs office and guard post to prevent soldier desertions.
