The Glienicke Bridge connects the state capital of Potsdam with the federal capital of Berlin and is a symbol of German division as well as German unity. It was built from 1904 to 1907, was destroyed in the second world war and reopened in 1949 as the "Bridge of Unity". After the building of the wall in 1961 only allied military personnel and diplomats were allowed to pass the bridge. Until the political change in 1989 the Glienicke Bridge also was a point of exchange of spies. That’s why people also called the bridge "Agentenbrücke" which means bridge of spies. After the fall of the wall in November 1989 the "Glienicker Brücke” was again open to everyone. The Glienicker Brücke is embedded in a landscape designed by Schinkel and Lenné which was declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1990.
