Viadukt Höllengrund

The Viadukt Höllengrund spans 148 meters in length and rises 17.5 meters high, featuring seven stone arches across the Großschweidnitzer Wasser valley.

Construction of the railway bridge commenced in 1846 as part of the Löbau-Zittau railway line, with its official inauguration taking place on June 10, 1848.

The viaduct appears on the municipal coat of arms of Großschweidnitz, representing its significance in the local heritage of Upper Lusatia.

The bridge continues to serve regular rail traffic on the Zittau-Löbau line, connecting communities across the Saxony region through daily passenger service.

During World War II, the central arch was destroyed on May 8, 1945, but rapid reconstruction allowed trains to resume crossing by August 4 of the same year.
