Bösebrücke, Truss bridge in Pankow, Berlin, Germany.
The Bösebrücke is a steel truss bridge measuring 138 meters in length and 27 meters in width that spans over main railway tracks and S-Bahn lines.
Originally constructed in 1912 and inaugurated in 1916, this bridge was Berlin's first nickel-steel bridge with construction costs reaching one million Reichsmark.
The bridge was renamed in 1948 to honor Wilhelm Böse, an electrician and antifascist victim of the Nazi regime who died in 1944.
Located on Bornholmer Straße in postal code 10439, the bridge connects the neighborhoods of Prenzlauer Berg and Wedding in Berlin.
This bridge became the first border crossing to open on November 9, 1989, allowing tens of thousands of East Germans to cross into West Berlin.

More than thirty years after its fall, the Berlin Wall still marks the city. Between the districts of Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg, and Friedrichshain, traces of concrete, watchtowers, and commemorative plaques tell the story of a people's and a capital's division. Entire segments have been preserved, others transformed into memorial sites or artworks, such as at the East Side Gallery. Along the old border lines, museums and parks bring these historical remnants back to life: Checkpoint Charlie, Bernauer Straße, the Topography of Terror, and Mauerpark. Each site holds a particular silence, reflecting a time that Berlin does not erase but faces squarely. These locations invite understanding, feeling, and sometimes just remembering.
