Anhalter Steg, Steel footbridge in Kreuzberg, Berlin.
Description
Anhalter Steg is a steel pedestrian bridge that spans 75 meters across the Landwehrkanal and connects two districts. The structure uses a steel truss design to link Park am Gleisdreieck with the Deutsches Technikmuseum.
History
Construction of the bridge began in 1999 as part of the area's redesign following German reunification. The project was funded through a partnership that involved exchange agreements for development land in another part of Berlin.
Culture
The concrete supports carry historic names that recall the old railway connection and show how important this place was for Berlin's transport history. Visitors can still read these names today and understand the location's significance for the city.
Practical
The bridge is always accessible and offers a flat, level walkway across the canal. The crossing is 4.5 meters wide and allows easy movement even for people using mobility aids.
Did you know?
Parts of the bridge structure come from an earlier bridge that was dismantled in the 1990s, with materials reused in this construction. This makes the structure an example of sustainable building practices using recycled components.
