Oberbaum Bridge

Straddling the Spree between Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg, the Oberbaum Bridge is a striking double-deck landmark of Berlin. Its red-brick Gothic Revival arches, towers, and distinctive walkways frame classic river views, while U1 trains and pedestrians share the span. Once a Cold War border crossing, it now symbolizes the city’s reunification and links lively neighborhoods known for street art, nightlife, and food. Visit for photographs at sunset, a stroll along the East Side Gallery nearby, or to cross between cultural hotspots. It’s an easy stop on a Berlin itinerary, especially if you’re exploring the riverside.
