The Oder Bridge Bienenwerder, Oder Bridge Neurüdnitz–Siekierki, Europa Bridge Bienenwerder, or Europa Bridge Neurüdnitz–Siekierki (after the two adjacent train stations) is a former railway bridge between the Bienenwerder district of the Brandenburg municipality of Oderaue and the Siekierki (Zäckerick) district of the West Pomeranian town of Cedynia (Zehden). The truss structure carried the Wriezen–Godków railway line over the Oder River.
The Oder Bridge was unused and closed off at the latest after traffic was discontinued in 1983 in the GDR and in 1994 in Poland. On July 26, 1998, a cross-border marathon with a running route took place over the bridge. On September 5, 2012, it was opened for pedestrians and trolley traffic for one day as part of a celebratory event. From March 15, 2014, the bridge on the German side was initially regularly open for trolley traffic up to the state border, but then had to be closed in 2015 at the instigation of the Lower Nature Conservation Authority of the Märkisch-Oderland district. The reason for this was a pair of eagle owls nesting on a bridge pier in June 2013; the species is on the Red List in Poland. In July 2017, it was announced that the bridge would be renovated with funds from the INTERREG cooperation program and used as a mixed pedestrian and cycle path. In June 2021, the Polish side was opened up to a viewing platform near the shore, and the German side was commissioned on June 25, 2022.
