history
Eiswerder is an island in the Havel , north of the Spandau Citadel . The island is connected to the east bank and the west bank by two road bridges. The Small Eiswerder Bridge was built in 1892. It enabled access to the island from the east. From the other side, the armaments workers of the time could only reach the island by taking a small ferry. In 1900 a competition for the construction of the bridge was announced, for which the bridge construction company Harkort from Duisburg was awarded the contract with the design of a truss arch bridge. Construction began in August 1901 and was completed on May 15, 1903. The bridge was built under the direction of Garrison Building Inspector Richter and Government Builder Neubert. At the end of the war in 1945, it was blown up by German troops and rebuilt in 1958. With the Eiswerder Bridge completed in 1903, access from the west was possible at any time, even in winter when the Havel was icy.
