Göhrener Viadukt, Railway viaduct in Wechselburg and Lunzenau, Germany.
The Göhrener Viadukt is a railway viaduct that spans the Zwickauer Mulde valley and features two levels of stone arches. Below the structure, streetcars and other routes pass through the arches.
Construction began in 1869 and was completed in 1871 to carry the Chemnitz-Leipzig railway line across the valley. The project used granite blocks from local quarries in the region.
The structure shows how people in the 19th century crossed valleys and connected distant places. It stands alongside other major stone bridges as proof of what engineering skill could achieve at that time.
You can view the viaduct from several nearby viewpoints that offer free access. The best time to visit is in daylight, when the stone structure is clearly visible.
The stone blocks came from quarries that once operated in Fischheim, Markersdorf, and Göhren nearby. Using local materials made the project more economical and tied the structure directly to the surrounding landscape.
