Fuldatalbrücke Kragenhof, Railway bridge in Staufenberg and Fuldatal, Germany

The Fuldatalbrücke Kragenhof is a 249.6-metre steel lattice composite railway bridge on the Hannover–Würzburg high-speed line, crossing the Fulda and the Hesse–Lower Saxony border at kilometre 133.2. Its four-lane beam deck stands up to 30 metres above the ground and passes over the Fuldatalstraße L 3235. North of it lies the 1,345-metre Mühlenkopftunnel, south the Lohbergtunnel.

The 1988 Fuldatalbrücke Kragenhof is the newer of two railway bridges of that name near Kragenhof. Its construction was awarded in September 1985, began in October 1986 and was completed in November 1988, supervised by the Projektgruppe NBS of the Bundesbahndirektion Frankfurt at a cost of about 14 million Deutsche Mark. Its lattice was modelled on the 1855 bridge of the Hannöversche Südbahn.

The 1988 bridge's steel lattice takes its cue from the 1855 Fuldatalbrücke Kragenhof of the Hannöversche Südbahn, which stands nearby. The two bridges are separate structures: the old one carried the Hanover Southern Railway, the new one serves the Hannover–Würzburg high-speed line. Visitors see the older bridge from the valley paths, not by crossing the new span, which is closed to pedestrians.

The bridge is best viewed from the valley below, where walking paths offer good angles on the structure. The entire year offers opportunities to visit, though autumn light conditions showcase the steel framework particularly well.

The 1988 bridge is the only steel lattice composite bridge on the Hannover–Würzburg high-speed line, and its lattice pattern was modelled on the 1855 Fuldatalbrücke Kragenhof of the Hannover Southern Railway. It carries two tracks at kilometre 133.2, with the Mühlenkopftunnel at its northern end.
