Oderbrücke, Steel railway bridge at Frankfurt Oder, Germany
The Oderbrücke is a steel arch railway bridge that spans the Oder River. It measures approximately 266 meters and connects Frankfurt (Oder) in Germany with Poland, featuring a distinctive steel network arch design.
The bridge was completed in 2008 and replaced an earlier truss structure that stood before World War II. It emerged from the need to restore railway connections between the two countries after the war.
The bridge represents railway cooperation between Germany and Poland. For travelers, it is a daily crossing where you see commuters and tourists moving between both countries.
Trains from here travel to Poland and into the region, especially regional services to Zielona Góra. The bridge is accessible only by train and not for pedestrians or road vehicles.
The arch reaches its peak exactly at the border line between Germany and Poland. Both countries share maintenance responsibilities, making it a rare example of cross-border infrastructure partnership.
