The Minna-Todenhagen-Brücke is a steel composite bridge in the Berlin district of Treptow-Köpenick , which runs above the Britzer connecting canal over the Spree and is part of the first construction phase of the south-east connection (SOV) between Rummelsburger Strasse and the A113 motorway . It lies in the course of the 1,246.70 meter long Minna-Todenhagen-Strasse, which connects the Rummelsburger Landstrasse / Rummelsburger Strasse in Oberschöneweide with the Köpenicker Landstrasse in the Niederschöneweider area.

Naming

The working title of the bridge was Spreebrücke (SOV) . The BVV Treptow-Koepenick had first as a namesake for the Bridge Mathilde Rathenau proposed. The Senate ultimately decided on the name Minna Todenhagen when naming the new Spree bridge and the road that runs across it.

history

In connection with the expansion of traffic on the inner-city motorway, the Berlin Senate has decided to connect the districts of Oberschöneweide and Niederschöneweide to the A 113 . In order to avoid directing motor vehicle traffic over the existing bridges over the Spree, some of which are in need of renovation, a new Spree crossing is being built in accordance with the planning approval decision passed on February 27, 2012 , for which the Senate has provided 44 million euros . The remaining construction costs of 4.8 million euros will be borne by the Treptow-Köpenick district involved . Preparations for the construction of the new bridge required the demolition of more than 30 allotment gardens and the cutting of 100 trees.

Originally it was planned to discontinue the F11 ferry line, which ran 600 m downstream, when the bridge was handed over . After user protests against the discontinuation, ferry traffic will initially continue until the end of 2018 and the development of passenger numbers will be monitored during this time. The bus line 365 runs across the bridge, which has been connecting Berlin-Baumschulenweg station with the Wilhelminenhofstr./Edisonstr. connects.

construction

Bridge relocation August 2015

Construction actually began in December 2013. First, an old tunnel running nearby, which had been used by the Schöneweide industrial railway, was shut down and filled with material. Then the abutments were built , which are located on the former premises of VEB Kali-Chemie on the west bank of the Spree in Niederschöneweide and on the Oberschöneweide industrial park on the east bank. On August 26, 2015, the two storage points on both banks, which are 157 m apart, were connected to the first part of the bridge over the Spree. During this operation there was an accident in which a six, other sources speak of ninety-tonne girders of a bridge part crashed. As a result, the construction work had to be interrupted and a search for the cause was initiated - albeit without result. The original completion date at the end of 2016 was therefore no longer applicable. On June 8, 2016, the second superstructure was completely pushed over the Spree in just one day.

The road connection including the bridge was commissioned on December 21, 2017.

Bridge architecture

The bridge consists of two juxtaposed five- span, vouted steel continuous girders with an attached concrete deck . Each carrier crosses a one-way carriageway with two lanes, a cycle path and a sidewalk and is 420 meters long. A distance of 3.9 meters is left between the two girders, the bridge eye . At the bridge's abutments, there are 6.5-meter-high light steles as architectural decorations on both sides of the lanes, which are intended to emphasize the end of the bridge.
