Guided Story

As you stand here, you're looking at more than just a bridge. The Baumschulenbrücke, an elegant iron truss construction, was built in 1995/96, replacing the original 1904 structure. That bridge was damaged by German troops during the Battle of Berlin in 1945 and only temporarily repaired. Look up, and you'll see how it crosses the Britzer Connection Canal at a striking 45-degree angle, precisely at canal kilometer 29.82. Around you, the bridge, with its access ramps, spans several garden plots lining the banks. This blend of old and new, urban architecture and green nature, makes this spot quite unique.
