Drachenlochbrücke, Arch road bridge in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

The Drachenlochbrücke spans 230 meters across the valley with ten concrete arches reaching a height of 40 meters above ground level.

Built in 1936 and designed by Paul Bonatz, the bridge was destroyed in 1945 during World War II and reconstructed between 1949 and 1950.

The bridge forms part of the Bundesautobahn 8 connecting Stuttgart to Munich, representing a major transportation link in southern Germany.

The structure carries two lanes of northbound traffic while serving as a protected historical landmark since 1994 under German preservation laws.

The remains of the original destroyed bridge structure still lie in Gosbach Valley beneath the current crossing.
