The Stubenrauchbrücke is a double-decker bridge over the Teltow Canal in Berlin. The Tempelhofer Damm runs on the upper level and merges into the Mariendorfer Damm in the south . On the lower level, the underground line 6 runs to Mariendorf. As part of the federal highway, it has a considerable volume of traffic.

The existing bridge was built in 1961 to replace the (previous) road bridge of the same name. In 1966, the underground train running inside the bridge was opened. The 37-meter-wide upper deck of the bridge contains three lanes in each direction (two times nine meters), a three-meter-wide median strip with bollards and a separating grille, as well as parking spaces on each side. On the east side, the parking areas are in the (edge) lane , opposite diagonally to the roadway on the wide sidewalk above the subway box.

location

The Stubenrauchbrücke crosses the B 96 over the Teltow Canal (km 23.8) and is therefore subject to the Federal Road Administration, which is represented by the Senate Administration. In this location, it connects Tempelhofer Damm on the north bank with Mariendorfer Damm on the south bank. The street names are separated by the bridge. Due to the southern boundary of the district, the entire bridge area belongs to the Tempelhof district .

history

With the construction of the Teltow Canal, a bridge structure for Berliner Strasse in Tempelhof was necessary at this point . The street was important as a trunk road from Berlin to Zossen (and in the original route before it was assigned as a Reichsstraße to Dresden ). At the time the canal and bridge were built, Tempelhof belonged to the Teltow district . The first bridge was built in 1905 under the supervision of the district that was responsible for the Teltow Canal. The street was 40.5 meters wide, the old road bridge was 19.5 meters wide and crossed the canal, the length between the bridge ramps was around 53 meters. The bridge area lay on a three-meter-high framework construction made of steel girders.

At the end of the war in 1945 the bridge was blown up. Replaced by a wooden emergency bridge, it was replaced by a temporary steel bridge in 1946 by pioneers of the American protective power. It had a wooden deck on steel yokes. From May 7, 1946, line 99 (Baerwaldstrasse / Gneisenaustraße – S-Bahn station Lichtenrade) was put back into operation with the clearance of the Stubenrauchbrücke. Because of the increasing traffic, a reinforced concrete slab was used and this solution was opened to traffic on October 21, 1950.

The replacement of this emergency bridge was connected with plans for the construction of the underground and was delayed. In order to cross the Teltow Canal, it was possible to drive under it or to cross it. For reasons of cost, the solution of feeding the underground across the canal was chosen. If the road had been crossed under, the redesign of the road would have been added. Construction began with the extension of the CII underground line . The new bridge was built in two separate tours. The western lane for road traffic (without underground line) was built on prestressed concrete beams. For the eastern bridge, a 5.5-meter-high prestressed concrete box was built for the underground with an overlying carriageway. In order to achieve the passage height in the canal, the Tempelhofer Damm was raised by 1.2 meters. Because of the boggy ground on the north bank, the abutments of the Stubenrauch Bridge rest on pressed concrete piles up to 17.5 m in length. The introduction of driven piles was avoided in order not to disrupt production in the nearby print shop. The American pioneer bridge was demolished in 1963. The bridge construction was finished in 1964. With the expansion of the underground station and the execution of the underground line, the entire construction was finally completed in 1966.

Subway tour

When the U-Bahn was extended, there was the question of going under or crossing the Teltow Canal. Raising the road bridge was chosen as a cost-effective variant, which freed up the space to lead the subway over the canal. This variant meant that the bridge had to be completely rebuilt and the underground line was raised from the lower level. The temporary bridge, which had existed since 1951, was demolished in October 1961 after the two tram lines 98 and 99 to Lichtenrade and Marienfelde had been discontinued.

In order to enable the underground to gradually climb to the level of the bridge, the eastern lane of Tempelhofer Damm (driving north) between Ordensmeisterstraße and Stubenrauchbrücke is higher than the western one, on which the cars are traveling south. On the western side of the street, the ground floor level of the adjacent residential development, the Tempelhof tax office and the connection to Viktoriastraße must be adhered to.

On the lower deck of the bridge, in the box girder, there is not only the underground line, but also part of the Ullsteinstraße underground station . It is located between the entrances to the north and south of the bridge between Tempelhofer and Mariendorfer Damm under the eastern lane. On both sides of the bridge there are accesses to the platform outside the bridge section. The eastern entrances are at street level, on the western side of the street the entrance is under the subway level.

German Unity Transport Project 17

In 2002, Die Welt Online reported that the bridge would also have to be raised as part of the expansion of the canal. However, concrete plans for this are not yet available. The canal with a width of 40 meters in the surrounding course is narrowed at the bridge by a constriction on the north bank ( Wulfilaufer ) to 28.8 meters. It was planned to dredge the Teltow Canal to 4.0 meters and to raise the eastern side of the bridge with the box girder. The preparatory planning took place from 1993–1994 on behalf of the waterway authority (WNA Berlin) by the Krebs und Kiefer office. In addition to the bridge, the planning area also included 300 meters of the underground line and the road layout. The diversion measures for road and underground traffic should remain low. The listed Ullsteinhaus would also have been affected by the changes. There were three options under discussion: demolishing the tunnel ceiling in sections and re-concreting the walls and intermediate supports, dividing the tunnel vertically into segments and lifting them into the new target position, or cutting the tunnel walls horizontally and lifting the tunnel ceiling with presses and placing the intermediate areas in the Concrete the walls and central supports. In all cases, the bridge would have been pressed up, the bearing banks and bearing pedestals raised and the bearings re-concreted in.

The construction work on the Teltow Canal in the area of ​​the Havel waterway as part of the German Unity No. 17 project in the years 2008–2010 took place without any changes to the bridge position.

Transportation

In 1928 the tram line 99 to Lichtenrade ( Great Berlin tram ) was set up, which ran through Tempelhof and Mariendorf on the Stubenrauchbrücke. After the war damage, operations between Platz der Luftbrücke – S-Bahnhof Tempelhof – Alt-Tempelhof began on June 11, 1945. With the construction of the makeshift bridge it became possible on May 7, 1946, to continue the passenger traffic on line 99 between Tempelhofer Damm / Ordensmeisterweg – Stubenrauchbrücke – Mariendorfer Damm / Ullsteinstraße. The route that had existed since 1928 became possible again on the existing operating route.

With the establishment of the U-Bahn CII (→ U6) at Tempelhofer Damm, the tram service was increasingly replaced. The freedom to build the new bridge made it necessary to stop tram operations on lines 98 and 99 on the post-war bridge in connection with line changes in October 1961. Only with the introduction of night traffic was the bridge needed again for bus traffic (during the night); the N6 buses run along the existing subway line.

Stubenrauch named it

The bridge was named after the Teltow District Administrator Ernst von Stubenrauch , on whose initiative the construction of the Teltow Canal goes back. In 1908 a steel bridge over the Spree was also named after him. This bridge of the same name crosses the Spree in the Treptow-Köpenick district ( Oberschöneweide district ) and is included in the RBS with the bridge ID 44898. The Tempelhofer Brücke is listed under number 7431 in the Berlin street directory (structure in the regional reference system ). It belongs to the zip code area 12099.

Uses

The perpendicular parking areas on the eastern edge of the bridge are to be replaced by a "bridge market". "The market stalls should be positioned with the backs facing the roadway so that an attractive continuous strolling zone can be created on the waterfront" This proposal, brought in on the initiative of the Greens and the SPD parliamentary groups, was approved by a majority in the district assembly. The district office must inquire about the implementation of the Senate Department for Urban Development and the Environment, which is responsible for bridges. The existence of a concept is the prerequisite for taking further measures.

To the north of the Stubenrauchbrücke is the section of the Teltow Canal Path between Wulfila-Ufer and Tempelhof harbor . A replacement route leads over the bridge and south around the Ullstein-Haus along the Tempelhof-Mariendorfer border with the Britz-Buckower Weg (Hauptweg 10) back to the canal or along the canal side of the Ullsteinhaus to Colditzstraße.

In the Berlin urban area, the Berlin fire brigade maintains 327 water and ice rescue stations; there is also such a system at the Tempelhofer Stubenrauchbrücke. An average of 400 lifebuoys are stolen and replaced every year. “As soon as the lack of rescue facilities is noticed by the population or by the fire brigade, the police or the public order office, they will be replaced immediately. [...] The cost of lifebuoys is around € 16,000 per year, the total maintenance costs (including the lifebuoys) for all water and ice rescue stations are around € 20,000 per year, according to the Berlin fire brigade. "

Remarks

  1. The Berliner Straße led over the bridge until it was renamed Tempelhofer Damm and a further 140 meters to the Tempelhof-Mariendorfer border. Since the renaming of Berliner Straße to Tempelhofer Damm and Chausseestraße to Mariendorfer Damm in 1949 , the bridge area was omitted from the street name. In addition, the southern section of Berliner Straße came to Mariendorfer Damm.
  2. Tempelhof belonged to the American sector from 1945 .
  3. The Teltow Canal is a navigable waterway, which is why a clear passage height of 4.60 m had to be observed for the ships on the underside.
  4. On May 2, 1961, line 98 (BVG-West) between Tempelhof-Marienfelde station, Daimlerstraße / Birnhornweg, and line 99 (BVG-West) between Tempelhof station and Lichtenrade S-Bahn station was due to savings measures due to parallel traffic with the subway line CII (→ U6) shared between Tempelhof subway station and Platz der Luftbrücke subway station and set north of the Stubenrauchbrücke. On October 1, 1961, the two lines were finally closed.
  5. This measure should actually be postponed indefinitely because of the construction of the Berlin Wall, as there were considerable problems with cars on the bus sector (S-Bahn boycott). The Tem depot (Tempelhof, Kaiserin-Augusta-Allee) was also closed to trams on October 1, 1961.
  6. Until the formation of Greater Berlin in 1920, Tempelhof and Oberschöneweide were independent communities that belonged to separate districts with their own planning authority.
  7. ^ "Bridges, as engineering structures, are the responsibility of the Senate Department for Urban Development and the Environment. [...] The Waterways and Shipping Office referred ... for its part to the Senate Department for Urban Development. Senator Geisel announced in September that it could be used for a weekly market. “However, the condition is that the permissible surface loads do not exceed the value of 300 kg / m². This corresponds to the current use as a parking space for cars with a gross vehicle weight of less than 2.8 tons. Driving on market vehicles with a higher total weight can be safely ruled out. The railing is to be kept free as a construction element for traffic safety in the event of market use. '
