Pedestrian and cycle bridges in Berlin Spandau, DE

Three footbridge and cycle bridge structures were developed as a cohesive family of bridges for the Spektegrünzug and Südpark in Berlin-Spandau. A common feature of all the structures is a protected supporting framework made of glued laminated timber with characteristic stepped main girders, which is permanently protected from the elements in accordance with the requirements of modern timber bridge construction. The structure is complemented by a durable natural stone surface. Delicate steel railings with wooden infill bars of varying lengths echo the vegetation of the banks and give the bridges a shared design identity.Südpark Bridge
A compact three-span bridge over the Südpark pond, which integrates the existing granite abutments and, with its slender timber structure, creates a barrier-free connection within the Südpark.Spektegraben Footbridge
The column-free single-span bridge spans the Spektegraben for around 13 metres and combines high load-bearing capacity with a particularly clear and elegant design.Footbridge over the Spektelake
As the largest structure in the bridge family, the curved three-span bridge spans 42 metres across the Spektelake and widens towards the centre of the bridge to form an attractive recreational area above the water.
