Elbebrücke Wittenberg, Railway bridge in Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Germany.
The steel railway bridge spans 333 meters across the Elbe River with a central arch design supported by concrete pillars at each end.
The original railway crossing from 1859 underwent multiple reconstructions, including replacements in 1888, 1906, and 1926 due to increased railway load requirements.
The bridge forms part of the Berlin-Halle railway line, connecting major cultural centers while integrating into the industrial heritage of Saxony-Anhalt.
Modern construction techniques enable trains to cross at speeds of 160 kilometers per hour, facilitating efficient transportation between Berlin and southern Germany.
The structure features a modified suspension system implemented in 2001 to prevent wind-induced vibrations through specialized welding techniques.
