Langenscheidtbrücke, Road bridge in Tempelhof-Schöneberg, Germany.
The Langenscheidtbrücke is a road bridge in Berlin's Tempelhof-Schöneberg district that crosses the Wannsee railway line and connects Monumentenstrasse to Langenscheidtstrasse. The structure uses steel framework construction spanning approximately 86 meters and sits on two abutments with pendulum supports, carrying vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic.
The bridge was originally built between 1898 and 1899 to cross the railway line. Following war damage and structural decline, it underwent complete reconstruction from 1987 to 1989.
The bridge carries the name of Gustav Langenscheidt, founder of the nearby Langenscheidt publishing house, a connection established in 1931. This naming reflects how local industry and commerce shaped the identity of this neighborhood.
The bridge features an ascending roadway with a height change of roughly 3.3 meters, which is noticeable when walking or cycling. All users will experience this slope, so plan your route accordingly depending on your mobility needs.
A distinctive portal arch adorns the western side of the structure, giving it a recognizable profile. This architectural detail is especially visible from certain angles and helps define the bridge's silhouette.
