Talbrücke Truckenthal, Railway bridge in Thuringia, Germany

Talbrücke Truckenthal is a railway bridge spanning over 400 meters across a deep valley in the region. It was built with two tracks to carry trains at high speeds safely, and includes tall noise barrier walls on both sides.

Construction of this bridge began in the 2000s as a major project to modernize the regional railway network. Technical difficulties during construction required redesign and reworking of sections of the structure.

The bridge has become a landmark in the regional landscape, shaping how people perceive the valley and modern infrastructure in rural areas. Visitors can witness from nearby vantage points how high-speed trains pass over the structure as part of everyday transport.

You can view the bridge from several vantage points in the surrounding area, especially well from nearby hills. The best time to visit is on clear days when you can see the entire structure clearly.

The pillars of this bridge feature hollow rectangular shafts that make the overall structure lighter while maintaining strength. This design approach allows the bridge to remain stable when high-speed trains pass and reduces vibration during transit.

Inception: 2011

Part of: Nuremberg Hbf–Erfurt Hbf high-speed railway
