Bartelsgrabentalbrücke

The Bartelsgrabentalbrücke spans across a deep valley using seven concrete beams, each measuring 45 meters in length and weighing 110 tons.

Construction of this prestressed concrete bridge in 1986 marked a significant advancement in German railway infrastructure development during the post-war reconstruction period.

The bridge represents German engineering expertise through its innovative design, which eliminated the need for central support pillars while maintaining structural integrity.

The structure facilitates efficient railway transportation over the valley, connecting regional networks and supporting both passenger and freight services throughout the area.

Engineers implemented prefabricated components in the construction process, reducing the building time by half compared to traditional bridge construction methods.
