The bridge connects Heinrich Heine Straße and Brückenstraße in Mitte with Alexanderplatz.
The bridge was built by cotton manufacturer Christian August Jannowitz.
[1] Jannowitz Bridge was dismantled in 1927 to allow construction of the U8 subway line.
[2] It was replaced with a new iron girder bridge that opened in 1932, along with the Jannowitzbrücke U-Bahn station.
The bridge was destroyed by the Germans, as a "defensive measure", during the Battle of Berlin in World War II.
