Most Tolerancji, Steel bridge in Głogów, Poland
Most Tolerancji is a steel bridge crossing the Odra River in Głogów, connecting Brama Brzostowska Street with Kamienna Droga Street. It spans approximately 139 meters and rises about 12 meters above the water level.
The structure was built in 1917 as the Hindenburg Bridge, replacing an earlier wooden drawbridge. It was destroyed during World War II and rebuilt in the late 1940s with the current steel design.
The name reflects a community vision for openness and coexistence that emerged in the early 2000s. Residents participated actively in choosing its distinctive appearance, making the bridge a symbol of local pride and collective decision-making.
The bridge serves vehicles and pedestrians alike, connecting the Old Town with the Ostrów Tumski district. Its distinctive pink color makes it easy to spot and helps with navigation around the city.
A local artist created five different color proposals for the bridge, and residents selected the heather-pink variation that now defines its appearance. This carefully chosen color scheme makes it one of the most distinctive bridges in the region.
