Rędzin weir in Wrocław, Hydraulic engineering structure on the Oder River in Wrocław, Poland.
Description
The Rędzin weir is a water management structure spanning the Oder River in Wrocław with three sections totaling 133 meters in length. The facility includes sluice gates, a water-level control system, and a bridge running overhead for approximately 228 meters.
History
Construction of this water control facility began in 1913 and was completed in 1917 as a key project for regulating the Oder River. Further expansions followed until 1926 to improve water management efficiency.
Culture
The locks are named after places along the Oder and Vistula rivers, reflecting their importance to the region's water management. Visitors can observe how this structure symbolizes the connection between different river systems.
Practical
The site can be viewed from the bridge running across the weir, which offers a good vantage point of the entire structure. The best overview comes from exploring different levels and observing how the sluice gates operate.

French prisoners of war took part in reconstructing one of the locks between 1941 and 1942, a contribution documented by a plaque funded by Lyon weavers. This lesser-known connection ties the facility to a specific chapter of World War II history.
