The Blue Wonder Bridge in Dresden spans across the Elbe River. It was finished in 1893, and at the time, this truss bridge was one of the longest bridges that was not supported by pillars. It was painted a brilliant blue color, which is how it got its name. Despite the fact that much of Dresden was destroyed during World War II, the Blue Wonder Bridge survived, thanks in part to city residents who put their lives on the line to protect it.\nThe bridge\’s official name is the Loschwitz Bridge.
