Unstruttalbrücke, Railway bridge in Karsdorf, Germany
Description
The Unstruttalbrücke is a railway bridge made of prestressed concrete that spans 2,668 meters across the Unstrut Valley. Its structure consists of four large frame sections and bridges a height of 49 meters.
History
Construction began in 2007 after archaeological excavations revealed burial sites from the Corded Ware culture. These findings significantly influenced the bridge's design and construction planning.
Culture
The bridge connects communities along a major railway route and shapes the landscape of the Unstrut Valley with its modern design. Local residents experience it as a symbol of their region's transport links.
Practical
The bridge is visible from the surrounding landscape and can be viewed from various vantage points in the area. The best views are available from paths along the valley rim, which offer good photo opportunities.
Did you know?
The structure was the first railway bridge project in Germany to use four 580-meter-long jointless prestressed concrete frame sections. This innovative method allows for seamless construction that distributes stress more evenly.
