One of the attractions of Berlin is split-level, neo-Gothic oberbaum bridge.
TV in German — the top wooden bridge.
It sounds weird, because this bridge is one of the main symbols of the capital of Germany, in fact, not wood, and brick.
Berlin — the centre of cultural life, of all political and economic decisions of Germany. There are summits, exhibitions and concerts, often come here artists from the former Soviet Union, such as V. Butusov tickets can be purchased on the website www.kontramarka.de. Here, between the East side gallery and Mercedes-Benz Arena it is located — the oberbaum bridge.
On this spot once stood the first wooden bridge over the river spree to connect the two parts of Berlin: Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain. On the bridge worked custom for ships.
Years later the bridge was rebuilt — added tower as a symbol of the time when TV was the water gate of Berlin, has launched a bridge line, instead of the wood appeared a brick, but the name remained the same.
During the Second world war, the bridge was seriously damaged but continued to function, until the time when the Soviet armies started to advance on Berlin. Then Hitler gave the order to blow up the bridge.
To restore the TV started only in 1961. At that time it was only used as a pedestrian bridge, it was a checkpoint, and the border between East and West Berlin took place on the river.
After the fall of the Berlin wall, the bridge was restored and opened it for cars and subway.
During the Festival of Light, held annually in Berlin, the bridge serves as the center of all the illuminations. Bright, beautiful sight, hundreds of lights illuminate the bridge and reflected in the water, making TV even more beautiful and unusual.
