Greifenbachviadukt, Steel railway viaduct in Ehrenfriedersdorf and Geyer, Germany.

The Greifenbachviadukt spans 180.6 meters across the Greifenbach Valley, reaching a height of 35.6 meters with three arch girders and plate girder overhangs.

The railway bridge, constructed between 1904 and 1906 by Kelle & Hildebrandt firm, operated until 1967 and was dismantled in October 1977.

The viaduct represented a critical link in the Saxon narrow-gauge railway network, connecting the communities of Schönfeld-Wiesa, Geyer, and Thum.

The structure underwent reinforcement modifications in 1924-1925 to support increased axle loads from the trains traversing the valley.

The bridge contained 275.84 tons of steel components and featured two-meter high wind protection fences along both sides of the crossing.
