Wiwili Bridge, Road bridge in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.

The Wiwili Bridge extends 161.8 meters across railway tracks, connecting the Stühlinger district to Freiburg's historic center with its characteristic blue painted iron structure.

Built between 1885 and 1886 for 428,000 gold marks, the bridge was initially named Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge and featured tram tracks until their removal in 1972.

Two memorials on the bridge commemorate Jewish deportations with a bronze Star of David and honor victims of political conflicts in Nicaragua during the 1980s.

Following renovations in 2009 that raised the structure by 1.5 meters, the bridge now accommodates approximately 10,000 cyclists daily between western Freiburg and downtown.

The bridge serves as an outdoor dance location where people gather for tango sessions and creates a viewing point toward Sacred Heart Church towers.
