Wommen Viaduct

The Wommen Viaduct spans 303.8 meters across the valley and rises 26.5 meters high with its stone arches supporting the Bundesautobahn 4 roadway.

Construction of the viaduct began in 1938 as part of the Reichsautobahn system, but wartime events left it incomplete until additional work finished in 1993.

The structure represents a cultural heritage monument in Hesse, exemplifying the engineering techniques and architectural standards of German infrastructure from the 1940s.

The bridge carries vehicles along the Bundesautobahn 4, connecting communities across the Nesse River valley through its 17 continuous spans.

The viaduct incorporates Buntsandstein stone in its construction, featuring two parallel structures that reflect both pre-war and post-reunification German engineering periods.
