Moseleisenbahnbrücke in Koblenz, Railway bridge in Koblenz, Germany
The Moseleisenbahnbrücke spans 270 meters across the Moselle River, connecting the districts of Altstadt and Lützel as part of the West Rhine Railway.
The foundation stone was laid on November 11, 1857, in the presence of future Empress Augusta, with the first train crossing the bridge in November 1858.
The construction of this railway bridge marked the first breach in the Prussian city fortification of Koblenz, representing a shift toward industrial development.
The bridge carries four railway tracks and includes a shipping canal beneath its northern section, facilitating both rail and water transportation systems.
Following its destruction in March 1945, American troops temporarily repaired the bridge before its complete modernization between 1974 and 1975.
