Unlike other bridges that were destroyed, the Brommybrücke was never repaired. In 1950, the remains were cleared away. One pillar remained standing and it remains so to this day. The destruction did not suit the new GDR regime badly. After all, the Spree turned into a strictly guarded border between East and West Berlin at this spot.
Plans to rebuild the bridge had been circulating for years, but it did not come to that for now. If a new bridge is ever built, it will probably be a bicycle and pedestrian bridge.
