Talbrücke Oberkirchen, Railway stone bridge in Freisen, Germany
The Talbrücke Oberkirchen extends 275 meters in length and rises 30 meters high, featuring twelve arches supported by eleven basalt stone pillars.
Built between 1934 and 1935, this railway viaduct served the Türkismühle-Kusel line until 1969, when train operations ceased permanently.
The bridge stands as an architectural heritage monument since 1996, representing the engineering capabilities and infrastructure development of 1930s Germany.
The former railway bridge now functions as part of a cycling and hiking path, connecting to the Fritz-Wunderlich-Weg recreational route system.
Construction required 16,000 cubic meters of basalt stones, assembled by the Cologne-based company Polensky & Zöllner with reinforced concrete cores.
