Wilhelm Spindler Bridge, Prestressed concrete road bridge in Treptow-Köpenick, Berlin, Germany

The Wilhelm Spindler Bridge is a three-span prestressed concrete road bridge over the Spree, built with single-cell box girders and separate decks for each direction. Its piers rest on flat foundations of underwater concrete, and all visible surfaces, including abutments, supports and wing walls, are clad in light grey Oberlausitz granite. Five lighting masts, illuminated navigation signs and radar reflectors serve shipping.

Plans to relieve traffic in Köpenick's old town date to the early 1970s, when East Berlin's magistrates modernised Oberspreestraße and other main roads under the Generalverkehrsplan. After reunification the Senatsverwaltung für Bauen, Wohnen und Verkehr continued the project, and the Schälerbau Berlin branch built the bridge, opened in 2002 as part of the Tangentiale Verbindung Ost. It was named after Wilhelm Spindler at its opening, when a monument to him was unveiled at the southern end and the connecting road became Spindlersfelder Straße.

The bridge honours Wilhelm Spindler, a Berlin laundry owner whose social commitment the city recognised; in 1873 an area of Köpenick was already named Spindlersfeld after him. At the southern bridge end a monument to Spindler was unveiled when the bridge opened, and the connecting road became Spindlersfelder Strasse.

The bridge carries the Europaradweg R1 cycle route across the Spree, so cyclists share the crossing with motor traffic. It stands 50 m upstream of the two-track Berliner Außenring railway bridge, which is 13 m wide and has existed since 1940. The Spindlersfelder Straße continues from the southern bridgehead.

Just 50 metres upstream stands a 13-metre-wide, double-track railway bridge in use since 1940, carrying the Berlin Outer Ring. The road bridge also carries the Europaradweg R1 long-distance cycle route. At its southern end a memorial to Wilhelm Spindler was unveiled when the bridge opened, and the connecting road was named Spindlersfelder Strasse.
