      The Blue Wonder, officially known as the Loschwitz Bridge, is one of Dresden's Elbe bridges. Built as a steel bridge between 1891 and 1893, it connects the two villages, or present-day districts, of Blasewitz on the left bank and Loschwitz on the right bank, which were incorporated into Dresden in 1921. Within today's urban area, it is the easternmost fixed crossing of the Elbe.

      Historically, it is the twelfth Elbe bridge in Saxony, and, following the incorporations in 1921, the fifth Elbe bridge in Dresden's urban area.

      The name "Blue Wonder" derives partly from the bridge's original sky-blue paint, the original color of which was only finally rediscovered after 2015 during a paint survey. It also derives from the contemporary reception of the 1890s, which considered Claus Koepcke's unusual construction of the stiffened suspension bridge, which effectively connected only two villages on different sides of the river and other bridge constructions were essentially unknown, a "miracle."
