    The castle bridge over the Spree Canal was built in 1821-1824 by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in the style of classicism. The figures Krieger and Siggöttin on the bridge were created in 1842–1857 by students of the sculptors Johann Gottfried Schadow and Christian Daniel Rauch in memory of the Wars of Liberation.

      The length of the Spree is about 400 kilometers (indicated 382, 398 or 403 kilometers), of which about 182 kilometers are navigable. The Spree is the longest German river.

        Walk along the Spree. So you can also find many beautiful corners in Berlin.

          The Schlossbrücke over the Spree Canal is a monument in the Mitte district of Berlin.
          It was built in 1821-1824 by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in the style of classicism and made Unter den Linden appear for the first time as a continuous boulevard from the Berlin Palace to the Brandenburg Gate.
          The monumental figures on the three-arch bridge were created in 1842-1857 by students of the sculptors Johann Gottfried Schadow and Christian Daniel Rauch to commemorate the wars of liberation.

            The Liebknecht Bridge (also known as the Karl Liebknecht Bridge, Kavalier Bridge until 1889, and Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge until 1949) over the Spree in Berlin's Mitte district connects the Lustgarten (Pleasure Garden) with Karl Liebknecht Street. Originally built in the late 17th century, it has been renovated several times throughout its history. The current bridge was built between 1949 and 1950.

            After the end of the Battle of Berlin and the occupation of the city by the Red Army, the Soviet military administration had a wooden pedestrian bridge rebuilt. Construction of a new permanent bridge serving as an east-west road connection began in 1949. The two stone edge arches were restored as supporting structures, and the larger central segment was constructed as a rectangular steel frame structure. In a record construction time of nine months, the engineers and construction workers created a structure in the style of the Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge, but without Prussian emblems and using contemporary building materials. The new Spree crossing was named Liebknecht Bridge or Karl Liebknecht Bridge in honor of Karl Liebknecht.

                        Berlin is the capital of Germany with around 3.7 million inhabitants and is known for its rich history and cultural diversity.

                        The city offers numerous sights such as the Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Cathedral, and the East Side Gallery.

                        Berlin is also known for its vibrant art scene and exciting nightlife. A highlight is undoubtedly the Friedrichstadtpalast! 😉

                        There are various hop-on hop-off bus companies that make it easy to explore the sights!

                        In addition to the Spree, Havel, and Dahme rivers, the city is home to smaller waterways as well as numerous lakes and forests.

                            After the political change, the Senate learned of the existence of the historic bridge bears and was able to agree on their return to Berlin. At the same time, the Liebknecht Bridge was renovated with funds from the city administration. This work was carried out between 1995 and 2000 while traffic was flowing[8] and ensured the continued use of the structure. In 1997, the historic bronze bears from the former Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge were attached to the piers of the Liebknecht Bridge and unveiled in a ceremony by the then American Ambassador John Kornblum and the Governing Mayor Eberhard Diepgen.[6] In 2010, three more original bronze reliefs from the Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge were found in Giessen; the Senate has since received them back. After restoration, they will soon also adorn the Liebknecht Bridge.[9]

                            The bridge lies on the route of the B2 and B5 federal highways. In the area of Berlin's historic center, the Liebknecht Bridge is part of one of the most important traffic arteries and is therefore correspondingly busy. To relieve traffic congestion on the Schlossplatz and the Liebknecht Bridge after the completion of the new palace building, the ADAC (German Automobile Club) is currently proposing, among other things, to reroute the main road over the former Burgstraße and the Rathausbrücke (Town Hall Bridge).
