Werratalbrücke Münden, Railway bridge in Hann. Münden, Germany
The Werratalbrücke Münden is a railway bridge spanning the Werra River and links several railway lines through the town. Its structure combines brick arches with steel beams designed to support heavy train traffic.
The bridge was constructed in 1899 as part of Germany's major railway expansion during that era. It enabled new rail connections and supported the growth of transportation networks in the Münden region.
The bridge represents an engineering milestone in German railway architecture, reflecting the industrial developments of the late nineteenth century.
The structure is visible from above the town and remains in active service for rail operations. Visitors can view it from various points along the riverbank, especially from the riverside footpaths.
The structure survived damage during World War II, demonstrating the robustness of its original construction. Its brick arch design proved surprisingly resistant to wartime attack attempts.
