Most Tolerancji, Steel bridge in Głogów, Poland
Most Tolerancji is a steel bridge over the Odra River in Głogów, linking Brama Brzostowska Street on one bank with Kamienna Droga Street on the other. The structure is 139 meters long and stands 12 meters above the water.
The bridge was built in 1917 under the name Hindenburg Bridge, replacing an older wooden drawbridge at the same location. It was destroyed in World War II and rebuilt in the late 1940s with the steel structure that stands today.
The name Most Tolerancji means "Bridge of Tolerance" in Polish, chosen by residents through a public vote in the early 2000s. The same vote decided the bridge's color, making it one of the few cases in the city where locals directly shaped the look of a public structure.
The bridge is open to both vehicles and pedestrians, and it connects the Old Town area with the Ostrów Tumski district on the other side of the river. Its pink color makes it easy to spot from a distance, which helps when navigating around the city.
A local artist prepared five different color options for the bridge, and residents picked the heather-pink version through a public vote. That choice turned the structure into one of the most recognizable crossings in the region, not for its size but for its color.
