Deiseler Tunnel, Railway tunnel near Deisel, Germany
The Deiseler Tunnel extends 202 meters through the Kesselberg mountain, featuring sandstone abutments and decorative elements on its northern portal with pilasters and friezes.
The construction of the tunnel began in April 1846 by Conrad Siebrecht company from Kassel and was completed in June 1847, marking it as the oldest railway tunnel in Hesse.
The tunnel and its attendant building have received designation as cultural monuments under the Hessian Monument Protection Act, preserving their historical architectural elements.
From April through October, the tunnel serves as a passage for cyclists and hikers, while from November to March it closes to protect hibernating bats.
The tunnel construction required no support structures during building due to the hard rock composition, allowing direct brick lining of the excavated space.
