Elbebrücke Wittenberge, Steel railway bridge in Garsedow, Germany.

The Elbebrücke Wittenberge extends over 1030 meters across the Elbe River, featuring dual railway tracks supported by robust steel girder construction.

The initial bridge construction started in June 1847 by the Magdeburg-Wittenberge Railway Company, requiring substantial river regulation works at that time.

The bridge structure represents German engineering achievements during the German Democratic Republic period, marking the longest bridge construction by Deutsche Reichsbahn.

The bridge maintains a ship clearance height of 6.09 meters at maximum water levels, connecting rail networks between northern and southern regions of Germany.

The bridge includes 14 sections designed with strut framework without posts, incorporating a pedestrian walkway on its upstream side.
