Hangviadukt Pünderich, Railway viaduct in Pünderich, Germany

The Hangviadukt Pünderich extends 786 meters along the Moselle River, featuring 92 arches constructed with local quarry stones and bricks from Merl and St. Wendel.

Construction of this significant railway infrastructure began in 1877, with the first section opening in 1879 and full completion marked by a cornerstone celebration in 1880.

The viaduct represents a prime example of 19th-century German railway engineering, integrating seamlessly with the Moselle Valley's agricultural and viticultural landscape.

The structure maintains a height of 10 meters and supports two railway tracks, connecting the Koblenz-Trier railway line while accommodating modern electrified train operations.

As Germany's longest hillside viaduct, the structure required 19,000 cubic meters of masonry and spans one of the narrowest points of a peninsula formed by the Moselle River.
