Guided Story

You're standing at the Hiroshimasteg, a striking pedestrian bridge made of steel, established in 1987 over the Landwehr Canal. This single-arch structure replaced an older bridge dating back to 1834. As you walk across, you're connecting important paths just like those who walked here before. Look around; this bridge quietly holds a piece of Berlin's history. To the south, you can spot the Schwules Museum*, and to the southeast, the Gallery Bottega Barone. Further east, there's the Memorial to the Victims of July 20, 1944. This bridge is more than a crossing; it's an integral part of Berlin's vibrant framework.
