Sechsbogenbrücke, Railway bridge in Weimar, Germany
The Sechsbogenbrücke is a railway bridge that crosses the Ilm Valley near Weimar with six massive stone arches. The structure remains in active use for train traffic and defines the landscape of the Webicht forest with its bold outline.
The structure was built between 1873 and 1875 to connect railway lines between Weimar and Jena. Through this project, three different German states were linked together for the first time.
The bridge represents a symbol of industrial growth that reached Weimar in the 1800s. Today it stands as a sign of how the region wanted to expand and connect with other places.
The structure is accessible through local hiking trails in the Webicht forest and offers good viewing points. It is best visited on foot to appreciate the architecture from different angles.
The bridge foundations feature massive stepped supports at both ends to distribute the weight of the structure and trains. These special support structures are a detail that many visitors overlook at first glance.
