Elsen Bridge, Road bridge in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Germany
The prestressed concrete Elsen Bridge spans the Spree River, connecting the districts of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg and Treptow-Köpenick in Berlin with a length of 185 meters.
Constructed in 1968, the Elsen Bridge emerged as a response to increased transportation demands between eastern and western sectors of Berlin during the post-war reconstruction period.
The bridge stands near multiple transportation hubs and entertainment venues, reflecting the transformation of former industrial areas into centers of contemporary Berlin life.
The bridge carries the Bundesstraße 96a traffic route and provides direct access to Stralauer Allee and Markgrafendamm, serving thousands of daily commuters.
The bridge's strategic position between Oberbaum Bridge downstream and Ringbahnbrücke Oberspree upstream creates a vital transportation triangle in eastern Berlin.
