Rędzin weir in Wrocław, Hydraulic engineering structure on the Oder River in Wrocław, Poland.

The Rędzin weir extends 133 meters across the Oder River with three spans, including a central section measuring 54 meters in length.

The construction of this water management facility started in 1913 and reached completion in 1917, followed by additional expansions until 1926.

French prisoners of war contributed to the reconstruction of the second lock between 1941 and 1942, commemorated by a plaque funded by Lyon weavers.

The weir incorporates both electrical and manual control systems for its sluice gates, ensuring continuous operation during different water conditions.

The structure features a 228-meter bridge combining 133 meters over the weir and 95 meters above Rędzin Island's floodplain.
