Hamm Railway Bridge, Railway bridge in Düsseldorf-Hamm, Germany
The Hamm Railway Bridge extends 813.5 meters across the Rhine River with a steel arch structure spanning 250 meters in length and 47.5 meters in height.
The original bridge from 1870, named König-Wilhelm-Brücke after Prussian King William I, was destroyed in 1945 during World War II and reconstructed in different phases.
The bridge incorporates architectural elements that connect to the regional railway heritage of North Rhine-Westphalia through its design and structural composition.
Four railway tracks cross the bridge, serving both regional trains and the east-west S-Bahn line S 8, connecting the Düsseldorf suburb of Hamm to Neuss district.
When completed in 1987, this steel arch bridge held the record for the longest railway bridge span in Germany until the construction of Grümpentalbrücke.
