Stubenrauchbrücke

The Stubenrauchbrücke is a double-decker road bridge in Berlin's Tempelhof-Schöneberg district that spans about 700 meters with separate levels for vehicle and railway traffic. The structure uses an iron truss design that allows both forms of transport to operate simultaneously.

The bridge was built in 1966 during Berlin's post-war reconstruction period. It was created as an important connection between Niederschöneweide and Oberschöneweide districts to handle the growing traffic needs of that era.

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 structure features three unequal arches, allowing river vessels to pass underneath. This asymmetrical design was an engineering solution to balance navigation requirements with the city's transport needs.
