Kaisersteg

Bridge only for cyclists and pedestrians

The Kaisersteig was originally built in 1898 as a pedestrian bridge for easy access for workers to the AEG from the Schöneweide S-Bahn. (See photo for postcard). On April 22, 1945, the SS blew up these bridges as well as many other bridges to stop the Red Army. During the GDR era, there were plans to rebuild the bridge in the 1950s, but they were never realized. The bridge was not rebuilt until 2007, as the new Oberschöneweide campus has future potential.

very nice crossing of the Spree

Great bridge, only for cyclists and pedestrians. Nice view of the Spree and the old industrial facilities of Oberschöneweide. You can take a break on the square north of the bridge with benches on the Spree. Unfortunately, the paths behind are rather less well developed for cyclists, to the south it goes to Schöneweide train station and to the busy Schnellerstraße, and to the north it goes to Wilhelminenhofstraße, partly without a bike path and with tram tracks and car traffic. But you can also go further north into the beautiful Wuhlheide. Still nice connection and shortcut for cyclists coming from Köpenick to Schöneweide.

Great opportunity to drive or run from Nieder- to Oberschöneweide!

Nice view of Schöneweide and the Spree

A good, quiet and stress-free way to get from Niederschöneweide to Oberschöneweide, or the other way around, by bike or on foot, is to use the Kaisersteg! The bridge is also very popular during twilight, as the red rays of the sun illuminate the old buildings of the HTW and the surrounding area in a beautiful light and have a romantic touch!

Great way to cross the Spree without stressful car traffic.

A modern invention here in Berlin. This structure connects one riverbank to the other riverbank.

Bridge only for pedestrians and cyclists

Fast and easy connection to Oberschöneweide. The riverside path on the south side is surprisingly long and invites you to take a break.
