Warschauer Brücke

The Warschauer Brücke is a road bridge spanning the Spree River and connecting the districts of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg. The structure is built from steel and concrete and stretches approximately 225 meters across the water.

The bridge was built in 1875 and marked a physical boundary between East and West Berlin during the Cold War. After the fall of the Wall, it became a place that reconnected the two formerly divided districts.

The bridge stands near the East Side Gallery, where artists have created murals on remaining sections of the Berlin Wall. This location serves as a symbol of artistic engagement with the city's divided past.

The location is easily accessible by public transport, with S-Bahn and U-Bahn stations nearby and the M10 tram line at Warschauer Strasse. The area is walkable and inviting for exploration on foot.

The area around the bridge regularly serves as a gathering point for street performers and artists who bring energy to the location. A 24-hour shop nearby on Warschauer Strasse attracts visitors from across the neighborhood.
