Hallesche-Tor Bridge

The Hallesche-Tor Bridge stretches across the Landwehr Canal, connecting different sections of Berlin's Kreuzberg district with its classic 19th-century architecture.

The bridge, completed in 1876, stands at the location of the former Halle Gate, which was part of Berlin's 18th-century customs wall controlling trade routes.

The bridge structure features four groups of sculptural figures that represent commerce and transportation, reflecting the economic values of industrial Berlin.

The bridge serves both vehicles and pedestrians while providing direct access to the Hallesches Tor U-Bahn station, which connects lines U1, U3, and U6.

The bridge underwent significant restoration work in the 1950s and 1980s, during which two original figure groups were carefully reconstructed to maintain historical accuracy.
