Modersohn Bridge
The original Modersohn Bridge was built in 1913 and 1914 as Hohenlohe Bridge by the Royal Railway Directorate in Berlin. It was 69 meters long and 11.95 meters wide and was made of poured concrete supported by nine brick pillars. In 1951 it was renamed together with the street after it had survived the Second World War almost completely unscathed. Due to massive signs of wear and tear, it had to be demolished in 1999, and an emergency pedestrian bridge was built instead. In the years 2000 to 2002, a completely new road bridge as a tied arch bridge was built according to plans by HP Gauff Ingenieure GmbH & Co. KG - JBG and the design by the Berlin architect Hans-Günther Rogalla . The long construction of 71.09 meters and 20.36 meters wide construction by Argentina Modersohnbrücke consisting of Krupp Stahlbau Berlin and Porr Technobau , the city of Berlin cost about 5 million euros .
Since the Modersohn Bridge is mentioned in some travel guides as a trendy meeting place, dozens of tourists and locals go to the bridge in the summer months to enjoy the sunset together .

The Emanuel-Lasker-Oberschule is a secondary school , which was built from 1911 to 1913 on the corner of Corinthstrasse as a community dual school based on designs by the Berlin city planning councilor Ludwig Hoffmann . The school building consists of three wings with four floors each and is a plastered wall structure. The roof is crowned by a clock tower. The pillar figures of Ignatius Taschner at the central gate are decorations from the time it was built . In front of the school building, there are two three-story residential buildings that were formerly used as the rector's and civil servants' apartments and which complement the ensemble. From 1986 to 1988 a five-storey extension was built in Corinthstraße (meanwhile demolished), which included classrooms as well as a dining room.
Over the years the building has been used by various schools and institutions. In 1913 the 227th community school, a Protestant boys 'school from the former Goßlerstrasse (today: Corinthstrasse), and the 281st community school, a girls' school from Rudolfplatz, moved in. With the school reform in 1938 they became elementary schools , after 1945 they became elementary schools . In the 1960s the 17th and 18th Polytechnic High School were formed here . In 1991 the school became the 15th primary school, today's Thalia primary school in Stralau, and the 1st secondary school, which is still housed in the building today. On July 7, 1994 the high school was named after the German world chess champion , philosopher and mathematician Emanuel Lasker .
Carriage place
At the beginning of the 1990s, people who wanted to live alternatively as a Rollheimer occupied a vacant lot on Modersohnstrasse between Revaler Strasse and Simplonstrasse with caravans. There were more than 40 construction or circus wagons converted for residential purposes, in which mostly young people lived permanently. For a long time, the car park was tolerated here. In 2007 the Senate of Berlin announced financial support for converting the approximately 5,000 m² area into a leisure and green area . The district councilors refused, however, and continued to tolerate the car. A binding lease was signed in 2012; 12 cents per square meter apply for the first year, which is to be increased gradually up to 23 cents in 2022. Meanwhile 30 people live in the wagon castle, which was named Laster & Hänger .
