Reimersholmsbron

Reimersholmsbron or Reimersbron (Swedish: "The Reimer Islet Bridge") is a bridge in central Stockholm, Sweden, connecting the major island Södermalm to the minor island Reimersholme.

The first bridge passing over to Reimersholme, is present on a map dated 1819. It is said to have been built by lieutenant general Johan August Sandel in preparation for a visit by Charles XIV. The present bridge was built 1942-43.cite book

In contrast to Långholmsbron, the bridge leading over to Långholmen where the Långholmen prison was once found and popularly referred to as "Suckarnas bro" ("The Bridge of Sighs"), Reimersholmsbron, once leading to what used to be an island holding a major distillery, was called "Kluckarnas bro" ("The Bridge of Clucks").
