Swinemünder Brücke

The Swinemünder Bridge is a steel truss road bridge that spans 228 meters across railway tracks in Berlin. Two masonry pillars support tall steel portal frames that rise about 17 meters above the ground.

The bridge was built between 1902 and 1905 and was Berlin's most expensive bridge at that time with a construction cost of one million marks. Its central section was destroyed during World War II and rebuilt in 1954 without its original decorative features.

The bridge takes its name from the coastal town of Swinemünde in Pomerania and connects two streets in the Gesundbrunnen neighborhood. It shapes the local skyline with its distinctive steel frame and remains a recognizable landmark in the area.

The bridge connects Bellermann Street with Swinemünder Street, crossing railway facilities east of Gesundbrunnen station. Pedestrians and vehicles can cross it easily, and the area is well served by public transportation nearby.

The bridge is a popular filming location for productions that need to represent other famous Berlin bridges or border checkpoints. Film makers often use its distinctive steel frame as a location for scenes portraying historical or politically significant places.
