Loca­tion and situation

Berlin’s his­toric Ober­baum­brücke was a key loca­tion for Lola rennt. Lola runs from her house along the street. Soon after she runs over the bridge. This is a road/rail/foot bridge with some very inter­est­ing arches. The bridge con­nects the old East at Warschauer­strasse train sta­tion of Friedrichshain to the old West/south side of the city in the sub­urb of Kreuzberg.
In the movie Lola is seen to run across a street where a yel­low train trav­els on an over­head rail. This is directly by the Ober­baum­brucke on the south side of the river. The cars and pedestrains are on the lower level of the bridge with the train on top. The train is actu­ally a U-bahn (under­ground) train.  This par­tic­u­lar piece of track is part of the U1 and U15 lines between Schle­sis­ches Tor and Warschauer­strasse with the train trav­el­ing towards Warschauerstrasse.
