the Gutach rail bridge, Black Forest, Germany

Built in 1899-1900 on the railway south of Titisee-Neustadt, near Lenzkirch, this postcard states that its main arch width of 64 metres made it the largest of its type in Germany, which may not still be the case today. The width of the bridge is 5.4 metres; height is approximately 35 metres and total length is 141 metres.  It is still in use, a recent pic by Josef Pfefferie below.
