The Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg arms show a stylized depiction of the Oberbaumbrücke
bridge built 1894-96, whose name recalls a medieval bridge which joined
Berlin and Cölln. The bridge is the main transport link between the merged
districts of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg and symbolises their union. Adopted
7 Oct 2003.
