Eiswerderbrücke, Road bridge in Spandau, Germany
The Eiswerderbrücke connects the mainland to Eiswerder Island by crossing the Spandauer See section of the Havel River. On both sides of this crossing, residential areas, office buildings, and green spaces line the riverbanks and define the local landscape.
The bridge was built in 1892 as a railway connection designed to transport ammunition and military supplies from the island's factories to Hamburg Station in Spandau. This military purpose dominated its use during the early decades.
The bridge provided essential access to the CCC Film Studios located on the island, where German filmmakers produced numerous movies between 1950 and 1970. This cinematic heritage remains part of the area's identity today.
The structure accommodates both pedestrians and vehicles, providing access to the island and its residential and office areas. Visitors exploring the area should note that the riverbanks on either side offer contrasting landscapes, from green spaces to built-up zones.
From the bridge, visitors can spot industrial heritage buildings such as former factories along the riverbanks that now stand beside modern structures. This mixture of industrial architecture and newer development reveals how the area has transformed over more than a century.
