Lange Brücke

The Lange Brücke spans across the Dahme River, connecting the old town of Köpenick with western districts through its stone arch structure.

Built in 1892 to replace wooden crossings from the 15th century, the bridge received monument status in 1992 after serving the community for 100 years.

Local residents reference the bridge's medieval nickname 'Bridge of Sighs,' connected to a 13th-century tale about a tragic couple during the Ascanian period.

The bridge requires a complete reconstruction estimated at 30 million euros, with completion planned for 2027 due to structural deterioration after 130 years.

Traffic currently flows on a temporary steel bridge while the original structure awaits replacement, following the removal of its monument protection status in 2020.
