Nesselgrundviadukt, Railway viaduct in Klotzsche, Germany

The Nesselgrundviadukt is a modern railway viaduct with three concrete spans that carries the Dresden-Görlitz rail line across the Nesselgrund valley. The structure supports two railway tracks and uses current engineering construction methods.

The original structure was a stone arch bridge destroyed in 1945, followed by a temporary wooden replacement for limited operations. The current concrete viaduct was later built to restore full railway service.

The viaduct connects communities along the Dresden-Görlitz rail line, enabling passenger travel and freight transport through the region. This connection shapes daily routines and supports economic activity in the surrounding area.

The viaduct is visible from surrounding footpaths and can be viewed from a distance on foot. Visitors should stay clear of active railway areas and maintain safe distance from operating trains.

The 1853 western arch bridge was demolished in July 2016 despite its protected monument status; locals knew it as the "gateway to the Dresdner Heide". Its replacement, built by Hentschke Bau and opened on 8 April 2018, cost around 6 million euros, funded by the federal government and Deutsche Bahn.
