Eisenbahnbrücke Konz-Karthaus

The Eisenbahnbrücke Konz-Karthaus is a steel structure that crosses the Moselle River, spanning 292 meters in total length. The bridge has two parallel tracks divided into two main sections to handle rail traffic.

The bridge was reconstructed in 1953 following World War II damage, becoming part of Germany's post-war infrastructure recovery. This rebuilding restored rail connections across the Moselle Valley.

The structure shapes how communities on either side of the Moselle connect and interact daily through rail travel. Residents rely on it as a normal part of getting between villages and towns in the valley.

The bridge is in active daily use by passenger and freight trains, so rail traffic is always present. The best views are from the riverbanks or roads running alongside the Moselle Valley.

What stands out is the practical two-part design: one section spans the river in a single 175-meter arch, an engineering achievement for its time. The second part connects to the shore and allows the track to curve gently into place.
