Hiroshimasteg

The Hiroshimasteg spans 24 meters across the Landwehrkanal, connecting Lützowufer with Reichpietschufer through a 3.7-meter-wide steel structure in Berlin.

Built in 1987, this bridge replaced the original 1834 iron structure, which was named Lützowbrücke in 1885 and later destroyed during World War II.

The bridge received its current name in 1990 to commemorate the victims of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, featuring a brass plaque with inscriptions in Latin and Japanese.

Located near the Bauhaus-Archiv Museum and Japanese Embassy, the bridge provides pedestrians with direct access between the northern and southern parts of Tiergarten.

The two-hinged arch design incorporates elements from the original 19th-century structure while serving as a modern symbol of German-Japanese relations.
