Guided Story
Imagine it's 1911. Right here, workers in heavy coats are fastening the last steel rivets on this bridge. Look to your left, and you'll see the Gethsemane Church, a quiet witness to when it all began. This bridge is more than just a crossing; it's a piece of living history. As you gaze over the tracks, you can feel the city's pulse as trains rush beneath you. Behind you to the west, the monument reminds us of the dark times between 1933 and 1945. As you continue, let the breeze from Prenzlauer Berg remind you that this bridge is more than just steel – it's a link between past and present.
