Berlin’s Iconic Gateway of Unity
Own a striking piece of Berlin's rich architectural heritage with this magnet featuring the historic Oberbaum Bridge (Oberbaumbrücke). Originally built in 1732 as a wooden city gate and barrier to collect customs duties, the structure was transformed in 1896 into the magnificent, double-deck Gothic revival brick masterpiece seen today. Its historical significance deepened dramatically during the Cold War when the bridge became a heavily guarded border checkpoint between East and West Berlin, exclusively used for West Berlin pedestrians. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall, extensive restoration allowed the famous yellow U-Bahn train to cross the Spree River once again, breathing new life into the structure. Perfect for history buffs and travelers, this souvenir magnet beautifully honors a landmark that evolved from a symbol of division into a celebrated icon of German reunification.

Our magnets stand out through their precision orthographic architectural drawings.
