Glienicke Bridge
Glienicker Brücke
The Glienicke Bridge is a steel truss road bridge across the Havel River linking the Wannsee district of Berlin with Potsdam. Opened in 1907 to replace an older bascule bridge, it carries the Bundesstraße 1 and was designed as a wrought-iron/steel lattice (Fachwerk) span with masonry piers and sculptural bridgeheads. The structure became internationally known in the 20th century but is a physical road-and-pedestrian crossing rather than a building with interiors.

As it stood in 1907
What Glienicke Bridge looked like in its prime.
Low-profile steel lattice (truss) bridge spanning the Havel on masonry piers, with a flat roadway deck and through-truss members rising in shallow peaked bays above the carriageway. Deck carries a two-track trambed at the outer edges and vehicular lane(s). At each end, high stone pedestals support sculptural figures (stone centaurs) and classical colonnaded bridgeheads; small decorative turrets sit on the pylons. The metalwork is painted green and the bridge crosses between two lakes framed by parkland.
