The Glienicke Bridge and the exclave of Klein-Glienicke

Guided tour with Palace Manager Andreas Woche, SPSG

During the division of Berlin, the Glienicke Bridge and the Potsdam district of Klein-Glienicke served as key meeting points between East and West. As an exclave within West Berlin, Klein-Glienicke constituted a strictly guarded “special security zone” in the GDR. The eventful history of the Glienicke Bridge is reflected in its frequent name changes, which coincided with shifts in political systems. The Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge became the Bridge of Unity and then the Glienicke Bridge. During the Cold War, the bridge earned the nickname “Bridge of Spies,” primarily because of the three exchanges of Western and Eastern agents that took place there. This special guided tour sheds light on the fascinating history of these two places in the immediate vicinity of Glienicke Villa. Translated with DeepL
