The Schmöckwitzer Brücke (also called Neue Brücke ) is a road bridge in Berlin that crosses the Dahme in the Treptow-Köpenick district on the Wernsdorfer Strasse .
history
In Schmöckwitz they built a bridge in 1602 that burned at the end of the Thirty Years' War from the passage of the Imperial Army. The bridge over the Dahme to Schmöckwitz Werder was until the beginning of the 20th century a simple Pfahljoch bridge with lifts so that sailing ships could pass through. After several renovations of the bridge and only short-lived constructions, it is said to have burned down in 1813. The eagle frame was expanded in 1887 , after which the aim was to build a permanent bridge between Schmöckwitz Werder and Wernsdorf over the Dahme, and this was done nine years later by the Krugwirt Gärisch. At that time, Schmöckwitz became a water sports and local recreation center for Berliners.
Many years later in 1907, work began on a steel bridge with two openings and it was called the New Bridge . The new bridge was moved about 50 meters to Oberstrom compared to the old bridge and required the construction of new bridge ramps, the western opening with a slight width of 6.7 meters was bridged by a steel bascule bridge for the ship's passage. A steel framework with a 45 meter span formed the superstructure of the eastern opening. The bridge was 10.3 meters wide, had a roadway width of 5.6 meters and was paved in the eastern field. In addition, it was covered with wooden planks in the area of the hatch . The bridge was completed in 1908, and the lift remained under the legal ownership of the Waterways Authority until 1939 and 1941.
On April 23, 1945, minutes before the Red Army had moved into Schmöckwitz, German troops blew up the eastern superstructure. Shortly after the Second World War , Soviet pioneers Unterstrom built the blasted bridge with two transverse barges, a floating temporary bridge . On June 6, 1946 there was an accident on the makeshift bridge . Because during the night a tractor with two trailers from Wernsdorf drove onto the unlit bridge and due to the overload the barges and the vehicle tipped over into the Dahme. After this accident, it was arranged that the floating bridge be demolished and an emergency bridge with a 5 meter lane width built on rammed wooden pile yokes under the current of the old bridge. In 1947, the 80-meter-long bridge was opened to traffic again after the blown steel structure had been removed from the water. The narrow restricted wooden bridge was only a temporary solution.
In 1951 the first drafts for a new construction of the bridge were made and the steel structures were examined in the variants of a two-hinged frame, two-hinged arch with a drawstring and a continuous girder bridge. The construction work for a new construction of the Schmöckwitz Bridge was delayed until 1960. A steel girder structure with three openings was built and supports a reinforced concrete deck slab. The spacing ratios were used either from the old abutments and the existing river pillar with appropriate preparation. The following superstructure support widths of 9 meters - 36 meters - 9 meters resulted from an additional installation of a second river pillar. Behind the western repository there are old flap cellars and they were built over with a reinforced concrete slab. The new bridge is now 72.4 meters long and 22.8 meters wide, of which 12 meters are in the carriageway. The bridge axis remained unchanged in the new building. In 1963 the makeshift bridge was dismantled, the bank reinforcement of the new bridge was made and then the construction work was completed.
