    The Schlossbrücke was built between 1821 and 1824 according to plans by Karl Friedrich Schinkel and, with its sculptures, is one of the most beautiful bridges in Berlin.

        Early city plans of Old Berlin and Kölln show that there was a bridge at the current location as early as the 15th century. It was necessary to transport building materials for the Berlin Palace over the waterway known as Cöllnischer Graben, alongside which the street Am Kupfergraben runs. The narrow wooden, seven-arched pile bridge with a hinged middle section was called the Dog Bridge because hunting parties with their packs of dogs had to cross it on the way from the palace to the hunting grounds in the Great Tiergarten. Despite several changes in connection with construction work on the palace and on the avenue Unter den Linden, the Dog Bridge remained intact until the 1730s. In 1738, the bridge was rebuilt by the court carpenter Johann Andreas Adam Büring according to plans by the chief building director Titus de Favre. His innovative construction was completed in the same year; by using counterweights, four adjacent flaps could be opened simultaneously. In 1806, Napoleon Bonaparte entered the Berlin Palace over this bridge.
