The Stronghold - bridge of the fusion
Published by Asya in Cruise, Europe, Germany, Urban Tourism, Walking
The Oberbaum bridge is a double-deck bridge crossing Berlin’s River Spree, considered one of the city landmarks. It link Friendrichshain and Kreuzberg, former city districts that were divided by the Berlin Wall, and has become an important symbol of Berlin’s unity.
It was neglected for a long time when Germany was divided because the division of East and West went right through the middle of the bridge, which means that it wasn’t used and nobody really took care of it. Now it’s a very vital structure connecting Kreuzberg and Frierichshain. There’s even a U-Bahn train traveling over it.
