You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:36, 3 July 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The ''' Weidendammer Bridge '''  is a ((convert|73|m|ft|adj=mid|-long)) bridge where the [[Friedrichstraße]] crosses the [[Spree (river)|Spree]] river in the central [[Mitte (locality)|Mitte]] district of [[Berlin]], [[Germany]]. It is notable for its ornate [[wrought iron]] railings, lanterns, and [[Reichsadler|Imperial eagles]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.anesi.com/east/weiden1.htm|title=The Weidendammer Bridge|website=anesi.com))</ref>

==History==
In 1685, a wooden [[drawbridge]] was built on the site in the course of the creation under Elector [[Frederick William I, Elector of Brandenburg|Frederick William I of Hohenzollern]] of a new western suburb of the city, [[Dorotheenstadt]]. Named after nearby [[willow]] (''Weiden'') trees on the riverbank, it was demolished for a [[cast iron]] construction erected in 1824, one of the first in [[Central Europe]]. Too small after the exponential population growth of Berlin as the capital of the [[German Empire]], it was again replaced by the current bridge built between 1895 and 1896.

During the [[Battle of Berlin]], the Weidendammer Bridge was one of the few Spree crossings that had not been destroyed. On the night of 1 May 1945, a [[Tiger II|Tiger tank]] from the [[11th SS Volunteer Panzergrenadier Division Nordland|11th SS Panzergrenadier Division Nordland]] spearheaded an attempt to storm the bridge to allow hundreds of German soldiers and civilians to escape across it.

Lovers are known to lock padlocks engraved with their names onto the wrought-iron work on the bridge, and at times, these locks are removed by the authorities.<ref name=Visitberlin>((cite web|title=In Love in Berlin – Love Padlocks on Berlin Bridges|url=http://www.visitberlin.de/en/article/in-love-in-berlin|work=Visit Berlin|publisher=Berlin Tourismus & Kongress GmbH|accessdate=7 April 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304035644/http://www.visitberlin.de/en/article/in-love-in-berlin|archive-date=2016-03-04|url-status=dead))</ref>
