The Steintorbrücke is a bridge over the Brandenburg City Canal in the urban area of the independent city of Brandenburg an der Havel .
history
As early as the end of the 13th century, a bridge in front of the stone gate of Brandenburger Neustadt is mentioned in a document. The first bridge along the old Brandenburg – Magdeburg military road was a wooden drawbridge. It led across the city moat. For centuries, the main shipping route used the city canal, and so the simple drawbridge was later replaced by a wooden bascule bridge to allow inland waterways to pass easily. The boiler lock was located between the bridge and the Brandenburg Niederhavel from 1548 , which enabled ships to overcome the Brandenburg mill jam until 1920. In 1926 a new small chamber lock was built. In 1996 the lock was rebuilt and was named Stadtschleuse Brandenburg .
In 1910 the previously wooden bridge was reinforced so that it could be used for double-track electric tram operation. A pedestrian bridge was built above the Steintorbrücke at the same time. Since the bridge was no longer able to cope with traffic, a massive arch bridge in concrete construction with natural stone facing was built in 1925. The bridge was designed by Moritz Wolf. The bridge was given a width of 24 meters. At the end of the Second World War the bridge was blown up and restored in its old form in 1946.
