Jannowitz Bridge (German: Jannowitzbrücke) is a bridge over the Spree River in Berlin. The bridge connects Heinrich Heine Straße and Brückenstraße in Mitte with Alexanderplatz.
History
[edit | edit source]The bridge was built by cotton manufacturer Christian August Jannowitz. Construction of the bridge began in 1822. The bridge was originally a wooden structure and was replaced in 1881 by an iron truss bridge.[1]
Jannowitz Bridge was dismantled in 1927 to allow construction of the U8 subway line.[2] It was replaced with a new iron girder bridge that opened in 1932, along with the Jannowitzbrücke U-Bahn station. The bridge was destroyed by the Germans, as a "defensive measure", during the Battle of Berlin in World War II. The bridge was rebuilt again in the early 1950s.[1]
