Urmitzer Eisenbahnbrücke, Railway bridge in Urmitz, Germany
The Urmitzer Eisenbahnbrücke spans 430 meters across the Rhine River, connecting the railway lines between Urmitz and Neuwied in Rhineland-Palatinate.
Built between 1916 and 1918 during World War I, the bridge served military transport purposes and included fortified positions for artillery placement.
The bridge incorporates architectural elements similar to the Remagen Bridge design, representing early 20th-century German engineering and construction methods.
A narrow path along the eastern side of the bridge allows pedestrians and cyclists to cross the Rhine River while offering views of Neuwied.
After its destruction in 1945, the bridge underwent reconstruction until 1954, transforming from an arch truss design to a box girder structure.
