The Görlitz Altstadtbrücke bridge is mentioned for the first time in 1298. It was built with wood and had to be renewed again and again, because not only the burden of the commercial caravans paid its tribute, but also fire, floods and the effects of the war.
Today's Old Town Bridge was officially opened on October 20, 2004. Since then, the pedestrian bridge has historically connected the two parts of the European city of Görlitz / Zgorzelec.

Beautiful view from the bridge of the parish church and the course of the Neisse river.
Be careful, you will be photographed because this is essentially a border crossing.

Additional:
The Old Town Bridge was the first paved Neisse crossing in the Görlitz urban area. Until 1945, it connected the old town of Görlitz with the eastern suburbs in various designs. After the arch bridge was blown up at the end of the Second World War and the subsequent separation of the city into a German and Polish part, only the stone abutments on both sides of the bank were a reminder of the bridge. In 2004, a new building was opened as a pedestrian bridge between Görlitz on the German side and Zgorzelec on the Polish side over the Lusatian Neisse. The arch bridge has a span of around 80 meters and is intended to be a symbol of a Europe that is growing together and parts of the city that are growing together again.

Worthwhile walk to the Polish side with a view of the church hill and parts of the old town of Görlitz. Especially at sunrise an unforgettable experience.
