Herkulesbrücke

Herkulesbrücke, Road bridge in Tiergarten, Berlin, Germany

The Herkulesbrücke is a plain three-lane reinforced-concrete bridge over the Landwehrkanal at kilometre 3.00, carrying Klingelhöferstraße south to Lützowplatz and the separate carriageways of Schillstraße. A second, parallel prestressed-concrete span was added just metres away in 1962–1964 as the opposite carriageway. Neither structure carries any sculptural ornament.

An original wooden bridge stood at this location from 1850, serving as the first crossing in this area. The current concrete structure was built in 1950 and later expanded to handle increasing traffic demands.

The name comes from Johann Gottfried Schadow's sandstone group of Hercules fighting a centaur and Conrad Nicolas Boy's Hercules with the Nemean lion, set on the 1787/88 Königsgraben bridge. In 1891 the repaired figures were moved to the Landwehrkanal crossing. The lion group, damaged in the war, now stands in the Köllnischer Park.

The bridge carries three lanes of traffic in each direction on two separate concrete structures, one built in 1950 and the other in 1962–1964. It crosses the Landwehrkanal at kilometre 3.00, linking Klingelhöferstraße with Lützowplatz and the divided lanes of Schillstraße. The bronze sculpture Hercules and the Erymanthian Boar by Louis Tuaillon stands directly at Lützowplatz.

A bronze sculpture by Louis Tuaillon nearby depicts Hercules and the Erymanthian Boar, preserving the link to classical mythology. This artwork remains one of the few visible connections to the structure's original name.
