Lau Mazirel Bridge, Municipal road bridge in Amsterdam-Centrum, Netherlands
The Lau Mazirel Bridge crosses the Plantage Muidergracht canal and links Plantage Kerklaan in Amsterdam's central district. Also known as Bridge 259, it provides a crossing point for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles moving between the eastern and western sections of the city center.
The bridge earned official municipal monument status in 1995, acknowledging its role in Amsterdam's architectural and infrastructure development. This designation reflects its importance in shaping the city's urban landscape.
The bridge honors Laura Mazirel, a Dutch resistance fighter who sheltered Jewish children during World War II and later advocated for women's rights and LGBT equality. Her legacy remains embedded in the local community's memory.
