Guided Story
Imagine standing here on the Jannowitzbrücke, with the gentle sound of the Spree beneath you. Did you know there was once a wooden bridge here, built in 1822 by a cotton manufacturer? Look to your left; where modern buildings now rise, there used to be bustling trade and industry. Behind you, towards the Märkisches Museum, you can almost feel the spirit of the old imperial era when the bridge was made of iron. Look up, and you'll see the prestressed concrete lines that have defined this bridge since 1954. It has stories of wartime destruction and rebirth. Take in the atmosphere and enjoy the view of vibrant Berlin today.
