The Treskowbrücke is a road bridge opened in 1904 and built in 1934 over the Spree in the Oberschöneweide district of the Treptow-Köpenick district of Berlin . It connects the districts of Oberschöneweide and Niederschöneweide . It is named after Sigismund von Treskow (1864-1945), the then district administrator of the Niederbarnim district .
history
The first bridge at its current location was built from 1903 to 1904 according to plans by Karl Bernhard . It was a steel three-span truss arch bridge. A flat arch with a drawstring and a suspended central field as well as iron girders under the side vaults formed the support members of the bridge. The bridge was given its name on the day it was opened to traffic. Just a few years later, as a result of the rapid industrialization of the Oberschöneweide industrial park, traffic over this bridge developed so strongly that its lane width of 14.5 m was no longer sufficient. The Berlin magistrate therefore decided to build a new building in 1934. The old arch segments were removed and the construction companies erected a 200 m long temporary bridge for the new structure. The 22.3 m wide road bridge that has now been implemented provided enough space for trams, cars and pedestrians. In terms of construction, a three-span iron bridge was used again, which could be placed on the abutments of the first bridge. The superstructure consisted of two long double-walled steel girders running across all three fields with an intermediate carriageway. The walkways were attached to the side of the steel elements. The new bridge structure was a simple traffic structure and was less decorative than the previous arch construction.
In World War II blew up German troops before the invasion of the Red Army to Kaisersteg and Treskowbrücke. The steel superstructure of the central opening collapsed into the Spree and impaired shipping, which was soon to be resumed. The entry of the Soviet Army into Berlin could not be stopped by this. In the summer of 1945, Soviet pioneer units erected a wooden makeshift footbridge from the northern bridge pillar onto the collapsed roadway, so that pedestrians could cross the Spree again.
In the GDR , the destroyed parts of the Treskow Bridge were lifted in 1951 and the material parts refurbished. The remaining metal structures could be straightened by 1954, missing parts were added and the repaired bridge reopened for pedestrians, cars and tram traffic. Since 1971, car traffic has only been on the eastern lane, the opposite direction was permanently diverted via the Stubenrauchbrücke .
Renovation works
In 1981 the magistrate of East Berlin had extensive renovation work carried out. The last major overhaul took place between 1999 and 2001, the work of which was completed on December 3, 2001 and funded by the economic administration with 9.3 million marks.
