Excerpt from Wikipedia

Friedrichs Bridge (German: Friedrichsbrücke) is a bridge in Berlin, one of several crossing the Spree between Museum Island and the mainland portion of Mitte. It connects Anna-Louisa-Karsch-Straße with Bodestraße. Since its creation in 1703, the bridge has been repeatedly renovated. It is considered a protected monument.

Timeline

Here is a brief historical overview of the bridge:

  • 1703: Construction of a wooden bridge known as the Great Bridge to Pomeranze
  • 1769: Construction of a vaulted brick bridge with a flap in the middle
  • 1792: Renamed Friedrich's Bridge after King Frederick the Great of Prussia
  • 1823: Replacement of vault and bridge flap by cast iron Tudor arches
  • 1873-1875: Bridge widened from 9.9 metres (32 ft) to 16 metres (52 ft) and redesigned as a six-span bridge with stone pillars and cast iron sheets
  • 1893-1894: Bridge completely rebuilt to achieve higher headroom required by shipping. Obelisks added at bridge ends; widened to 27 metres (89 ft)
  • 1945: Blasted by the Wehrmacht
  • 1950-1951: Construction of temporary wooden bridge
  • 1981: Construction of a 12.5 metres (41 ft) prestressed concrete frame bridge as footbridge without river piers spanning 56.5 metres (185 ft)
  • 2012-present: Reconstruction of the bridge on the historical width of 27 metres (89 ft)
