Schlossbrücke, Stone bridge in Berlin-Mitte, Germany
The Schlossbrücke bridge connects the Museum Island to the Unter den Linden boulevard through eight marble statues on granite pedestals above stone piers.
Karl Friedrich Schinkel designed this bridge in 1821, and its construction finished in 1824 as part of Berlin's urban development program.
The bridge displays eight marble sculptures created between 1847 and 1857, depicting scenes from Greek mythology related to warfare and heroic tales.
Located at coordinates 52.5175 latitude and 13.398611 longitude, the bridge extends 56.30 meters across the Spree River in central Berlin.
During World War II, authorities removed and stored the statues in Spandau for protection, returning them to East Germany in 1981 after restoration.
