Reiherbachtalbrücke, Stone railway bridge in Selbach, Germany
The Reiherbachtalbrücke is a stone railway viaduct that spans the Reiherbach valley with multiple arches. The structure carries train tracks and connects settlements on either side of the valley.
The structure was built in 1913 as part of Germany's railway network expansion during industrial growth. It demonstrates the technical knowledge of that era in overcoming geographical challenges.
The structure shows how railway engineers of that era combined functionality with regional building methods. This blend shapes the valley's appearance to this day.
The bridge can be viewed from several points in the valley, with walking paths making it easy to approach. Daytime visits work best to see the stone structure and its proportions clearly.
The structure still uses only natural stone, which has proven its resilience against train vibrations and weather over many decades. Complete stone construction like this remains uncommon in modern railway infrastructure.
