This impressive railway viaduct was was made of bricks; 50,000 a day were delivered to the site. Not surprisingly its construction took five years from 1846-1851.
It is 574 metres long, has 29 arches with the longest span 31 metres, the height of the rails above the the Göltzsch river is 78 metres. Unlike the Elstertalbrucke (see earlier post) it survived WW2 intact. A detailed history is here
