Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Die Schleusenbrücke über den Spreekanal in Berlin-Mitte, erbaut 1914-1916 und 1936-1937 von 7 auf 24 Meter verlängert. Bemerkenswert ist vor allem das schmiedeeiserne Geländer mit bronzenen Reliefmedaillons, die historische Stadtansichten auf den Straßen- und stilisierte Windrosen auf den Wasserseiten zeigen. Die vier ursprünglichen Medaillons, von Robert Schirmer und Otto Markert stammend, wurden bei der Verlägerung durch vier weitere Medaillons von Kurt Schumacher ergänzt. Am südöstlichen Widerlager der Brücke befindet sich eine Gedenkplakette für Schumacher, der als Angehöriger einer kommunistischen Widerstandsgruppe 1942 von den Nationalsozialisten hingerichtet wurde. Die im Zweiten Weltkrieg schwer beschädigte Brücke wurde 1951 restauriert und die in Gänze fehlenden Medaillons 1973 durch Kopien ersetzt. Die Brücke ist denkmalgeschützt.
English: The Schleusenbrücke (Lock Bridge) over Spreekanal in Berlin-Mitte, built 1914 to 1916 and extended by 17 meters from 1936 to 1937, being now 24 meters long. Most noticeable are the wrought-iron railings with bronze relief medaillons, showing historic views of Berlin on the street sides and stylized compass roses on the water sides. Originally, there were four medaillons by Robert Schirmer and Otto Markert. Four other medaillons by Kurt Schumacher were added at the time of the extension. On the southwestern abutment, a memorial plaque has been placed for Schumacher, who was executed by the Nazis in 1942 as member of a Communist resistance group. The bridge was heavily damaged in WWII and reconstructed in 1951. The medaillons, all of them missing, were replaced with replicas in 1973. The bridge is designated a historic landmark.
