Horchheimer Eisenbahnbrücke, Railway bridge in Koblenz, Germany

The Horchheimer Eisenbahnbrücke spans 312 meters across the Rhine River, connecting the districts of Oberwerth and Horchheim with its steel girder construction.

The initial structure, built in 1879 with two tower gates, served the Prussian State Railway until its destruction during the final stages of World War II.

The bridge forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley, representing the evolution of railway infrastructure in the Rhine region.

The structure carries rail traffic on the Lahn Valley Railway line while providing a combined pathway for pedestrians and cyclists along its 12.4-meter width.

The bridge incorporates three massive arches on the left bank of the Rhine and two large openings spanned by a beam construction on the original bridge pillars.
