Hindenburgbrücke, Railway bridge in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

The Hindenburgbrücke spans across the Mosel River with a double-track railway system and pedestrian paths on both sides of the structure.

Construction of the bridge began in June 1913, employing Italian workers and later Russian prisoners of war due to labor shortages during World War I.

The bridge received its name in 1918 to honor Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, who later became the President of Germany in the Weimar Republic.

The structure extends 1,175 meters in total length, incorporating two sets of arches and a central steel segment measuring 741 meters.

The remnants of this railway bridge now form part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley since 2002.
