Elbschetalviadukt, Railway viaduct in Wengern, Germany
The Elbschetalviadukt spans the Elbsche Valley with five stone arches, constructed entirely from Ruhr sandstone at a height of 30 meters.
The viaduct served as an essential railway link from 1934 to 1984, carrying 23 passenger trains daily, including express services and freight transport.
The structure represents a prime example of 1930s engineering in North Rhine-Westphalia, leading to its registration as a protected architectural monument.
The structure now functions as part of the Elbschetal cycling path, connecting Witten Wengern with Sprockhövel through multiple access points.
The viaduct underwent extensive restoration in 2014, transforming from a railway bridge into a dedicated pathway for cyclists and pedestrians.
