Grüne Brücke Neesen, Railway bridge ruins in Porta Westfalica, Germany.
The Grüne Brücke Neesen stretches 600 meters across the Weser River with 21 concrete pillars and features a steel arch bridge construction with reinforcing beams.
Built in 1938 for transporting iron ore, the bridge sustained damage during World War II when its eastern pillar was destroyed, causing it to tilt toward the river.
The bridge structure represents engineering achievements of the 1930s and remains a technical monument in the Weser landscape of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Located at coordinates 52°15′38″N, 8°55′12″E, the bridge ceased operations in 1976 and discussions continue about converting it into a bicycle path.
During the 1950s, the bridge carried special trains for distinguished passengers, including King Paul of Greece and Chancellor Adenauer of Germany.
