Potsdamer Brücke

Potsdamer Brücke is a reinforced concrete road bridge in Berlin's Mitte district that spans the Landwehr Canal. It carries vehicle traffic and bus routes while connecting parkland areas to surrounding neighborhoods.

The bridge opened in 1966 and introduced prestressed concrete technology to Berlin's post-war reconstruction efforts. It represents the modernization of urban infrastructure during the city's recovery period.

The bridge connects different sections of the Tiergarten district, enabling residents to access the extensive parklands and recreational spaces throughout the year.

Several bus lines including M29, M48, and M85 cross the bridge regularly, making it accessible by public transportation. Pedestrians and cyclists can also use it to move between the Tiergarten and nearby areas.

The bridge takes its name from the nearby Potsdamer Tor, a historic city gateway that once marked Berlin's boundaries. Though it appears modest, it carries thousands of commuters daily between key urban areas.
