Stubenrauchbrücke, Double-deck road and metro bridge in Tempelhof, Berlin, Germany
The Stubenrauchbrücke is a double-deck bridge over the Teltow Canal in Berlin-Tempelhof, carrying the B 96 on its 37-metre-wide upper deck with three lanes per direction and parking on both sides. The lower deck runs inside a 5.5-metre prestressed concrete box girder, which also holds part of the Ullsteinstraße U-Bahn station on the U6 line.
The first bridge at this spot was built in 1905 for the Berlin–Zossen road, then part of Teltow district. It was blown up in 1945 and replaced by an American engineer bridge in 1946. The present structure dates from 1961–1964, with the U6 running through its hollow box from 1966.
The bridge takes its name from Ernst von Stubenrauch, a former administrator of Teltow district who shaped the region's development. This naming reflects the historical ties between the area and the people who guided its growth.
The upper deck is reserved for motor vehicles with dedicated driving lanes for daily traffic. The lower section operates for railway transport, creating separate operational areas on the bridge.
The bridge crosses the Teltowkanal at kilometre 23.8, where the canal narrows from 40 metres to 28.8 metres at the Wulfila-Ufer on the north bank. The eastern carriageway sits higher than the western one so the U6 can climb gradually to bridge level; the Tempelhofer Damm was raised 1.2 metres to keep clearance for boats.
