Bee Bridge Bienenwerder

The Oder Bridge Bienenwerder or Oder Bridge Neurüdnitz–Siekierki refers to a railway bridge between the district of Bienenwerder in the Brandenburg municipality of Oderaue and the district of Siekierki in the West Pomeranian town of Cedynia. The half-timbered construction carried the railway line Wriezen–Godków over the Oder. The first bridge at this location was built in 1892 as a mixed railway and road bridge. In 1930, a pure railway bridge was put into operation at the site of the current bridge, and the old bridge then served exclusively for road traffic. Both bridges were blown up in 1945. Due to the new border demarcation, a reconstruction was initially not carried out. The railway bridge was rebuilt in 1957 for military reasons, but was practically no longer used. In 2012, the bridge was to be prepared for draisine traffic between the two states. Since 2015, the crossing has been prohibited for nature conservation reasons, and a renovation is planned.

The bridge was considered the longest Oder bridge at its inauguration. The German portion is listed as a historical monument.
