Elbebrücke Barby, Railway bridge in Barby, Germany.

The Elbebrücke Barby is a railway viaduct crossing the Elbe River that links Barby with the Zerbst area. The structure has 16 openings and also allows pedestrians and cyclists to cross using a separate pathway.

Work on the bridge began in July 1875 and it was completed in 1877, at the time a feat of heavy steel construction. The Gutehoffnungshütte company from Oberhausen played a key role in manufacturing, marking a shift toward industrial growth in the region.

The bridge shows how industry and public access were meant to work together in the 1800s. Pedestrians and cyclists still use the same pathway that trains have traveled for generations.

Rail service over the bridge ended on 12 December 2004, so the deck is no longer reached by train; the 1.25 m footpath on the southern side is used by pedestrians and cyclists under a 1949 agreement between Barby and the Reichsbahn. The lowest clearance for shipping is 5.45 m at a gauge of 5.7 m, about a metre too low for three-layer container traffic.

The bridge's clearance above the navigation channel is 5.45 metres at the highest navigable water level, a gauge of 5.7 metres. That is about one metre too low for three-layer container shipping on the Elbe, which is why the waterway authority examined a possible dismantling in 2011. Raising the 65-metre segment over the channel was estimated at 200,000 euros in 2013.
