Müngsten Bridge, Steel railway bridge in Solingen, Germany
The Müngsten Bridge extends 465 meters across the Wupper Valley, reaching a height of 107 meters with a central span of 170 meters.
Construction of this railway connection began in 1894 when MAN Werk Gustavsburg assembled 5,000 tons of steel profiles using 950,000 rivets.
The bridge changed its name from Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge to Müngsten Bridge in 1918, reflecting Germany's transition from monarchy to republic.
The structure carries the S7 line of the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn between Remscheid and Solingen, operating with diesel locomotives on non-electrified tracks.
The main arch incorporates cantilever construction techniques, resulting in substantial material savings while maintaining structural integrity.
