Remstal-Viadukt

The Remstal-Viadukt spans 240 meters across the Rems Valley, reaching a height of 42 meters with its steel and sandstone construction.

Construction of the railway bridge began in 1875, leading to its official opening on October 26, 1876, as part of the Waiblingen-Schwäbisch Hall railway line.

The viaduct represents German engineering achievements of the 19th century, connecting communities along the Rems Valley through rail transportation.

The structure serves both regional trains and the Stuttgart S-Bahn S3 line, providing essential transportation links between Stuttgart and Schwäbisch Hall.

During World War II, the Wehrmacht damaged part of the bridge, leading to reconstruction in 1946 and complete modernization with dual tracks in 1965.
