Jannowitz Bridge, Prestressed concrete road bridge in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.
Description
Jannowitz Bridge is a prestressed concrete structure crossing the Spree River and linking Heinrich Heine Straße with Brückenstraße, connecting central Berlin districts. Its modern design features a clean span and graceful lines that reflect post-war engineering practices.
History
The original bridge was built in the 1930s but destroyed during World War II. The current structure was completed in 1954 as a concrete replacement and became part of Berlin's effort to rebuild its transportation network after the war.
Culture
The bridge is named after Christian August Jannowitz, a cotton manufacturer whose family shaped the neighborhood for generations. This naming connects today's crossing to the industrial past that defined the area along the Spree.
Practical
The crossing is easily accessible on foot or by public transit, with S-Bahn and U-Bahn stations nearby. The bridge accommodates pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles, all with clear pathways and good signage.
Did you know?
Beyond serving as a road crossing, the bridge functions as a mooring point for Spree river tour boats that carry visitors through Berlin's central districts. This dual use creates an unusual intersection where land and water traffic meet.
