Moltke Bridge, Road bridge in Mitte district, Germany
The Moltke Bridge spans 77.6 meters across the Spree River with three crossed arches constructed from red Main sandstone and decorated stone elements.
Field Marshal Helmuth von Moltke's funeral procession marked the inauguration of this bridge in 1891, shortly after the military leader's death.
The bridge displays architectural sculptures created by three German artists: Johannes Boesen, Carl Piper, and Carl Begas, reflecting 19th-century artistic traditions.
The structure extends 26.70 meters in width, connecting Alt-Moabit near the main railway station to Willy-Brandt-Strasse and the Federal Chancellery.
During the 1945 Battle of Berlin, Soviet forces captured this strategic crossing point despite German attempts to destroy it with explosives.
