When the first railway lines from and to Berlin drove in the middle of the 19th century, a steel bridge was built to cross the Spree between Alt-Treptow and Stralau. At the beginning of the 20th century, the city fathers extended the bridge around a narrow footbridge for pedestrians and cyclists running parallel to the tracks.

Originally created as a steel bridge for the flourishing railway lines, it is a testament to a time when the city experienced a growth spurt and was changing rapidly. But it was not just railways that shaped the image of this bridge. At the beginning of the 20th century, the city fathers recognized the need to make it easier for pedestrians and cyclists to cross the Spree. A narrow footbridge, which now runs parallel to the tracks, was added and has since offered an attractive way to cross the river.

As you walk across the bridge, a panorama opens up that combines modernity and history. The eye-catcher par excellence is the "Molecule Man" by the American sculptor Jonathan Borofsky, an impressive, 30-meter-high sculpture that has been breaking through the surface of the Spree since 2013. This filigree giant is a reminder of the connection between elements, people and ideas.

But it is not just the "Molecule Man" that can be admired from the bridge. The eye wanders over the gentle glitter of the Spree, captures the harbor atmosphere at Treptower Park and lets you feel the heart of the city in all its liveliness. The lively hustle and bustle on and around the Spree, the pier of the Stern und Kreisschiffahrtsgesellschaft Berlin and the picturesque Stralau peninsula complete the picture.
