Weinsberg tunnel, Railway tunnel in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
The Weinsberg tunnel extends for 891.3 meters through the Heilbronn Mountains, connecting the cities of Heilbronn and Weinsberg via the Crailsheim railway line.
Construction of the tunnel began in October 1859, employing numerous Italian workers, and upon its completion in 1862, it stood as the longest tunnel in Württemberg.
The railway tunnel holds protected status as a German cultural heritage monument, representing a major achievement of 19th-century engineering in Baden-Württemberg.
Regular maintenance work addresses the geological challenges caused by anhydrite deposits in the Keuper marl, ensuring safe passage for modern rail transport.
During the 2003 renovation, engineers installed a 20-centimeter thick Styrofoam buffer to protect the tunnel structure against geological pressures.
