Rudolf-Wissell-Brücke

Can you hear the hum of the traffic above you? That's the heartbeat of the city flowing over the Rudolf Wissell Bridge. Look up and you'll see the massive structure stretching out like a steel river. Completed in 1961, this is Berlin's longest single bridge. It's a marvel of engineering and a crucial part of the city's infrastructure. Imagine how it's carried the pulse of the city for decades, transporting cars and trucks from one end of Berlin to the other. Behind you, if you look far enough, you might catch a glimpse of the Charlottenburg Palace Gardens, a calm contrast to the busy traffic. Picture this place back in the 60s, when the bridge was new and the city was on the brink of change.
