what we can read on the sign is "Schneebergstraſʒe" (ſʒ = ß = ss, see there) = Snow Mountain Street (Schnee Berg Strasse)

we can read Templehof Damm too...

(Damm: wiktionary in english is not complete, see here)

Damm: wiktionary in german, here, reads:
"[6] ... Teil einer befestigten Straße, der für den Fahrzeugverkehr bestimmt ist"
which means
"Portion of a paved road intended for vehicular traffic"

one of the most well-known "Damm" is the Kurfürstendamm in Berlin/Germany @ 52.5038887,13.3314806
a wiki article where one can read (chapter "history") "... the Kurfürstendamm developed out of a historic corduroy road (German: Damm) ..."

i found the location @ twitter where the main question is asked, WHY such a german name in London?

user Max_Zorin gives a funny reason, haha: "It’s from when we joined the common market and the plan was to Germanise all UK street names."

but the real reason is given by user Steve: "The Borough of Barnet is twinned with Templehof" which is confirmed by wiki, see London Borough of Barnet ...where the bridge is located ...Templehof is a borough of Berlin, yep!

CQFD
