Park Bridge Babelsberg

In 1902, a pedestrian bridge was built over the Teltow Canal. This bridge was given to the Emperor Wilhelm II as a compensation for the land needed for canal construction, which he had ceded. It was considered the most beautiful bridge over the entire Teltow Canal.

The bridge was destroyed at the end of World War II, but quickly rebuilt. With the construction of the border fortifications in connection with the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, the parking bridge became the border checkpoint and Klein Glienicke the restricted area.

With the fall of the Berlin Wall - with Klein Glienicke - the bridge was also reopened for traffic. Since the bridge is very narrow, the construction of a traffic light system was necessary in order to realize for the individual Verklehr.

In the Babelsberg Castle Park. The castle park and of course the castle are also worth it.

The small bridge connects Babelsberg with Klein-Glienicke, the Potsdam district on the other side of the Teltow Canal. Here is also one of the narrowest parts of the Teltow Canal.
