Sonnborner Eisenbahnbrücke, Railway bridge in Elberfeld, Germany.

The Sonnborner Eisenbahnbrücke spans across the Wupper River, Federal Highway 228, and the Siegfriedstrasse Bridge, connecting major transportation routes in Wuppertal.

Built in 1840 by the Düsseldorf-Elberfelder Railway Company under architect Eduard Wiebe, the bridge initially featured six arches with 14-meter clearances.

The railway bridge represents a significant example of 19th-century German engineering, marking the industrial development of North Rhine-Westphalia's transportation network.

The bridge serves as part of the Düsseldorf-Elberfeld railway line, facilitating regular passenger and freight services between major cities in the region.

This structure stands as the only railway bridge in Wuppertal that crosses over the suspended monorail system, creating a remarkable intersection of transportation methods.
