Unstruttalbrücke, Railway bridge in Karsdorf, Germany
The Unstruttalbrücke extends 2,668 meters across the Unstrut Valley, making it the second longest railway bridge in Germany after the Saale-Elster-Talbrücke.
Construction began in 2007 following extensive archaeological excavations that uncovered multiple burial sites from the Corded Ware culture period.
The bridge serves as a central component of the Erfurt-Leipzig/Halle railway line, connecting communities and supporting regional transportation networks.
The structure rises 49 meters above the Unstrut Valley and incorporates innovative sound barriers and wind protection systems to minimize environmental impact.
The bridge features four 580-meter-long jointless prestressed concrete frame sections, marking the first implementation of this engineering technique for railway bridges in Germany.
