The Oberbaum Bridge is a double-deck stone bridge spanning the Spree River in Berlin, designed by Santiago Calatrava and Otto Stahn and completed in 1994. Linking the formerly divided districts of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg, it has become one of the city's most recognizable landmarks and a symbol of Berlin's reunification. The lower deck carries vehicular traffic connecting Oberbaum Straße and Warschauer Straße, while the upper deck accommodates the U-Bahn lines U1 and U3 between Schlesisches Tor and Warschauer Straße stations. Designated as a cultural heritage monument, the bridge's distinctive architecture has made it a prominent location in international film and television productions.
