The Havel [ˈhaːfl̩] is a river in northeastern Germany and, at 334 kilometers long, the longest right tributary of the Elbe. The direct distance between source and mouth is only 94 kilometers. The Havel rises near Ankershagen in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, flows through Brandenburg, Berlin, and Saxony-Anhalt, and empties into the Elbe near Gnevsdorf on the border between Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt. 285 kilometers of river run through Brandenburg. It initially flows through numerous small lakes in a southeasterly direction, then in a southerly, westerly, and finally northwesterly direction. The difference in altitude is only 40.6 meters.

There are only a few bridges left from the pre-World War I period. Its Art Nouveau design makes it an important architectural monument.

In October 2020, renovation work began on the bridge,[1] which is why it was closed to pedestrians and cyclists.
