The Alsenbrücke is located in the Wannsee district of Berlin along the Kohlhasenbrücker Straße and connects Wannsee with the village of Kohlhasenbrück .
history
In 1906 the bridge was designed in the Art Nouveau style. It was built by the waterway administration during the construction of the Prinz-Friedrich-Leopold-Kanal ( Griebnitzkanal ), which connects the Stölpchen and Pohlesee here.
From 1995 to 1998, Schälerbau Berlin carried out the complete renovation of the bridge for around 6.1 million marks on behalf of the Senate Department for Building and Housing. This was necessary because the old bridge only had one lane, which regulated traffic with a signal system and thus severely restricted the only connection to Kohlhasenbrück, Steinstücke and Potsdam .
The Alsen Bridge is constructed as a girder bridge and a steel bridge , each with a directional lane for road traffic, a footpath and a cycle path. The appearance of the new bridge was based on the old bridge, with the railing with the cast-iron street lamps ( hamburgers ) being taken over. The bridge piers of the old bridge were revised and also used as far as possible for the new bridge.
The roadway of the new bridge is 7.00 meters wide. Sidewalks, including the cyclists' and protective strips, were each laid out 4.10 meters wide. The bridge parts, consisting of six individual parts with a total weight of 151.0 tons, were manufactured in Frankfurt / Oder and transported to the bridge construction site by heavy-duty transporters and assembled with two cranes at the beginning of November 1996. The eastern footpath was built later after assembling the individual parts of the roadway without obstruction to traffic.
The Alsenbrücke was named after the Alsen colony , which connected it to the former Neubabelsberg colony .
