Photo Of The Day: Walking The Oberbaumbrücke
Friday, August 6th, 2010
The Oberbaumbrücke is a double decked bridge that connects the districts of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg, two districts that were previously divided between East and West, over the River Spree. I could see the bridge out the window of the boat that I was staying on. The light throughout the day changed the character of the bridge, and walking it was like going through history.
A wooden bridge was first built here in 1732. That bridge was replaced with the one pictured above in 1896 and was designed by Otto Stahn.
