Grunwald Bridge, Steel suspension bridge in Wrocław, Poland
Description
Grunwald Bridge is a steel structure that crosses the Oder River, supported by two tall brick pylons with granite-faced facades. The construction follows the style of Art Nouveau architecture and carries a roadway for vehicles, trams, and pedestrians.
History
The structure was built between 1907 and 1910 and suffered severe damage during the Second World War. Reconstruction took place from 1946 to 1947, restoring it to the form you see today.
Culture
The bridge bears the name of a medieval battlefield and connects two parts of the city that matter equally to residents and travelers. Walking across it, you notice the brick pylons that shape its appearance and recall the era of its construction.
Practical
Crossing on foot is straightforward and offers good views of the river and waterfront areas on both sides. It is a useful place to understand how the city connects across the water and to view the structure from different angles.
Did you know?
During the 1945 siege of the city, German forces removed the suspension cables to prevent destruction, leaving it resting on temporary supports. This unusual action allowed the structure to be restored later.
