Tips
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.
