Eberswalde Canal Bridge

The Eberswalde Canal Bridge, structurally correct Eberswalde Bridge Canal, was a hydraulic structure of the Oder-Havel Canal, in which the canal was carried over the double-track railway line of the Berlin-Szczecin Railway by means of a trough bridge. Since 2008, the successor structure has been a railway tunnel under the canal.
During the construction of the Berlin-Szczecin shipping route, later known as the Oder-Havel Canal, the Berlin-Szczecin railway also had to be crossed. The plan envisaged a location about two kilometres north of Eberswalde. However, since the height difference between the top of the rail and the water level was not sufficient, further line variants were investigated. On the one hand, the canal could have been swung to the south, but this would have required a very long and high dam. On the other hand, it would have been possible to relocate about four kilometres to the north in order to be able to run the railway over the canal. Both variants were not pursued further because of the expected extremely high construction costs and instead the railway was lowered.
