Eisenbahnviadukt Stuttgart-Münster

The Stuttgart-Münster Railway Viaduct is a steel girder bridge that spans 855 meters and rises approximately 30 meters above ground level. The structure with its characteristic steel beams carries trains with passengers and freight across the Bad Cannstatt area on a regular basis.

The viaduct was completed in 1992 and marks an important step in the development of Germany's regional railway infrastructure. It has connected the rail networks between Stuttgart and Münster ever since and has shaped the region's transport system.

The railway bridge shapes the neighborhood's character and represents the industrial past of Bad Cannstatt. It serves as a daily landmark for residents and reflects the area's transportation importance.

The viaduct is best viewed from the surrounding streets and paths in Bad Cannstatt, which offer various vantage points. The best time to visit is during daylight hours when trains are actively running and the structure is clearly visible.

The viaduct has special engineering solutions to handle thermal expansion from seasonal temperature swings. These compensation systems allow the steel structure to expand and contract without compromising its stability.
