Elbebrücke Wittenberge, Steel railway bridge in Wittenberge, Germany

The Elbebrücke Wittenberge is a 1030-metre steel railway bridge southeast of Wittenberge, carrying the two-track Magdeburg–Wittenberge line over the Elbe at river kilometre 453.8 and across the diked foreland. Its superstructures are steel trusses, including a half-parabola truss about 11.5 metres high and Schwedler girders with spans of 55.2 metres, replaced in the 1909–1911 rebuild.

Construction of the original bridge started in 1847 through the Magdeburg-Wittenberge Railway Company and required major river regulation work. This early construction laid the foundation for connecting northern and southern Germany.

The structure links railway routes that have connected regions for more than 150 years and continues to direct traffic flows today. It shapes the city's skyline as it spans the Elbe, remaining a familiar sight for residents and travelers alike.

The bridge crosses the Elbe at river kilometre 453.8, southeast of Wittenberge, carrying the two-track Magdeburg–Wittenberge line from track kilometre 50.7. It also spans the diked foreland, so the full 1030-metre length is best followed from the embankment or from a train window.

The bridge's 1851 piers were built wider than first planned so a second track could be laid on new spans before the old ones were removed, easing the later two-track expansion. From 1852 a plank deck let road traffic use the structure during longer gaps in rail service.
