Haintal Viadukt

The Haintal Viaduct stretches 173 meters in length and rises 32.5 meters high, featuring nine arches divided into three groups of three spans each.

Construction of the Haintal Viaduct took place between May 1880 and November 1881, requiring 8,500 cubic meters of sandstone and costing 170,000 gold marks.

The viaduct represents a significant example of 19th-century German railway engineering and maintains its status as a Cultural Heritage Monument in Hesse.

The structure continues to serve as an active railway bridge on the Odenwald line, connecting communities while supporting regular train traffic through the region.

The viaduct's design mirrors the Himbächel Viaduct on the same railway line, with reinforced pillars measuring 5 meters between arch groups and 3 meters at standard points.
