Guided Story

As you stand on this historic bridge, known as Schreberbrücke, established in 1869, take a look at the calm waters of the Elstermühlgraben flowing beneath you. This bridge not only connects two banks but also links generations, carrying the name of Moritz Schreber, a notable physician and educator. If you glance around, you might spot the nearby Schreberbad, just 72 meters to the northwest. While the bridge itself is a straightforward crossing, its name embodies the legacy of a man who significantly influenced the city with his garden allotments. Enjoy this spot where history and the present come together.
