Charlottenburger Brücke is one of Berlin’s architecturally and historically significant bridges, located in the Charlottenburg district. It spans the River Spree and connects the central part of the city with the western neighborhoods. The bridge serves as an important traffic route and a monument of early 20th-century engineering design.
The original bridge was constructed between 1905 and 1907 as part of a large-scale urban redevelopment aimed at modernizing Berlin’s infrastructure. Its architecture reflects a neoclassical style with ornamental sculptures. Notable features include massive pylons and artistically crafted iron railings.
Charlottenburger Brücke was damaged during World War II but was later restored, preserving its historic character. Today, it functions as both a road and pedestrian bridge and forms part of the urban landscape near Charlottenburger Tor and the Berlin University of Technology.
Thanks to its elegant silhouette and scenic location over the Spree, the bridge is frequently featured in photography and tourist routes. It also stands as a symbol of the district’s continuity between its historical roots and its modern identity.
