Oberbaum Bridge

Double-decker bridge

Am Oberbaum
Mühlenstraße / Stralauer Allee
Berlin, Berlin 10243
+49 (0)30 25 0025 (Touristen Information)

The buses are not the only double-deckers in Berlin. There is also a double-decker bridge, the Oberbaumbrücke, which spans the River Spree between Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg. Traffic speeds along the lower part of the bridge while trains steam over the upper section. Built a hundred years ago in the red-brick gothic style popular at the time, the Oberbaumbrücke is crowned by two towers. The bridge got its name from the tree-trunks which were used to shut down the river to traffic at night.
