Before World War II, there was another bridge in the same place, Lessingbrücke, named after the German philosopher and poet Gotthold Ephraim Lessing. The structure was built in 1875 using iron and was destroyed in 1945 during the siege of Breslau.
Currently, the bridge serves as a crucial connection for both pedestrian and road traffic, linking the northern and southern parts of Wrocław.
