The Glienicke Bridge (German: Glienicker Brücke, ) 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, this portion of the Havel River formed the border between West Berlin and East Germany. The bridge was thus a crossing of the inner German border and was therefore used several times for the exchange of captured spies, becoming known as the Bridge of Spies.
