Oberbaumbrücke
U-Bahn-station Schlesisches Tor, Warschauer Straße
The bridge over the Spree was opened in 1896 and in 1945 it was blown
up at Hitler’s command. The heavily damaged bridge was not usable
anymore after the building of the Berlin Wall. In 1972 the restored
bridge became an border crossingpoint for pedestrians. Since 1995 it
is being used by cars again and the elevated railway goes over the
bridge as well. It connects Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain, those
together form one district.
