Grunwald Bridge (Polish: Most Grunwaldzki) is a suspension bridge over the river Oder in Wrocław, Poland, built between 1908 and 1910.[1] Initially the bridge was called the Imperial Bridge (Kaiserbrücke), then the Bridge of Freedom (Freiheitsbrücke). The architectural design of the bridge was by a city councilor, Richard Plüddemann.[2] The bridge opened on 10 October 1910 in the presence of Emperor Wilhelm II.[3]
It is one of the longest bridges of its kind[clarification needed] in Poland, being 112.5 meters long, 18 meters wide, and weighing 2.3 thousand tons.[4] It was constructed of Silesian granite.
The bridge was repaired and reopened in September 1947 after being damaged during World War II.[4] Currently, a streetcar line runs across the bridge.
