Anhalter Steg

The Anhalter Steg is a pedestrian bridge over the Landwehr Canal in Berlin's Kreuzberg district that has linked the grounds of the German Museum of Technology with Hallesches Ufer since 2001. Built on the foundations of a historic railway bridge, it was constructed to designs by the architect Benedict Tonon. The structure consists of three spans: the middle one comes from a wrought-iron truss arch of the former Marschallbrücke and is covered with wooden planks, while the outer sections are steel structures with an asphalt surface. The piers are partly clad in yellow clinker brick, and sculptural lettering recalls the bridge's earlier role for the Berlin-Anhalt Railway. Here you'll find an exciting mix of historic industrial architecture and modern design. Nearby, besides the Museum of Technology, you'll also find Elise-Tilse-Park and the Tempodrom on the site of the former Anhalter Bahnhof, where remnants of old railway platforms have been integrated into a green space.
