The old Waisenbrücke Bridge

In January 1960, the East Berlin city administration began the demolition of the Waisenbrücke Bridge, and by June 1961, the bridge’s foundations had been removed. The historic construction, which had been visible from Fischerinsel and Mühlendamm, a river crossing that had connected the opposite banks of the Spree for centuries, was gone. One of the city’s central lifelines has been severed ever since.
