Guided Story
Can you hear the gentle hum of the Spree below? Look up and you'll see the graceful arches of the Gerickesteg stretching across the river. This bridge has seen it all. Built in 1915, it's a silent witness to history, enduring both war and reconstruction. Imagine people over a century ago walking the same path you're on now. Just behind you, a bit to the south, is Schlosspark Bellevue, a perfect spot to relax after your stroll. And if you glance northwest, you'll catch sight of the Moabiter Bridge, another vital link keeping Moabit vibrant. This bridge is more than just a crossing; it's a place where stories and people meet. Let the history sink in and enjoy the view.
