Guided Story

You're standing at the Röntgenbrücke, a key piece of Charlottenburg's history. Built in 1960, this bridge replaced an earlier structure destroyed during World War II. The original wooden footbridge was established here in 1897 and later replaced by an iron arch bridge. Look towards the Siemenssteg, about 172 meters to the west, and imagine how this area has transformed over the years. Named after Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, the bridge honors the German physicist known for discovering X-rays. It serves not only as a vital traffic link but also as a reminder of significant scientific achievements.
