Simbach–Braunau railway bridge, Steel railway bridge between Simbach am Inn, Germany and Braunau am Inn, Austria

The steel truss bridge spans 60.4 meters across the River Inn, connecting the rail networks of Germany and Austria at their shared border.

The railway bridge, officially opened on June 1, 1871, was reconstructed after World War II when German forces destroyed parts of the structure in 1945.

The bridge represents a vital connection point between Bavaria and Upper Austria, facilitating cross-border commerce and transportation between these distinct regions.

The structure carries regular rail traffic between Munich and Neumarkt-Kallham, serving as an essential link in the international railway network.

The bridge construction marked the first use of caisson foundation technology in Bavaria, setting a precedent for future engineering projects in the region.
