Oschütztal-Viadukt Weida, Railway viaduct in Weida, Germany
The Oschütztal Viaduct extends 185 meters across the valley, reaching a height of 28.5 meters with four supporting pillars and steel lattice girder system.
The structure opened in 1884 as Germany's first pendulum pier bridge, designed by architects Claus Koepcke and Hans Manfred Krüger using steel from Königin Marienhütte.
The bridge connected two railway stations in Weida, facilitating transportation of goods from stone quarries and supporting the region's industrial development until 1982.
The viaduct stands above Federal Road 92/175, offering clear views for visitors approaching from Weida railway station through the city center.
The engineering design features flexible connections on all four supports with outer joints resting on rollers to compensate for temperature changes and traffic forces.
