Eisenbahnbrücke Meißen, Railway bridge across Elbe River in Meissen, Germany
The Eisenbahnbrücke spans 256 meters across the Elbe River, connecting the districts of Cölln and Triebischvorstadt with steel truss construction.
The bridge opened in December 1868 as a single-track structure on the Borsdorf-Coswig railway line, establishing a connection between Leipzig and Dresden.
The 1926 reconstruction incorporated designs by architect Heinrich Tessenow while maintaining the original pillars, marking German engineering advancement.
The structure underwent extensive repairs between 2012 and 2013, receiving corrosion protection and restoration of the second track for increased capacity.
The bridge integrates a pedestrian walkway alongside its railway tracks, enabling both train transport and public access across the Elbe River.
