The
Glienicke Bridge is a
bridge across the
Havel River in
Germany, connecting the
Wannsee district of
Berlin with the
Brandenburg capital
Potsdam. It is named after nearby
Glienicke Palace. The current bridge, the fourth on the site, was completed in 1907, although major reconstruction was necessary after it was damaged during
World War II. During the
Cold War it was used several times for the exchange of captured spies and thus became known as the "Bridge of Spies".
