About Oberbaum Bridge

The train runs overhead, pedestrians below, and the red-brick towers frame the movement over the Spree. The Oberbaumbrücke links Friedrichshain to Kreuzberg and served as a border crossing during the division of Berlin.

After the murals, cross on foot and look at the bridge from the bank to take in the whole structure. Wait for the train out of the walkway's flow: getting the photo right is easier when you skip the last-minute detours.
