This occurred during the Danish-Prussian war of 1864 which ended with the German border being pushed a reasonable distance to the north. It was shifted south again in 1920 following a referendum although not as far south as it had been before 1864.
The caption for this wood engraved print stated the bridge was blown by the Prussians, actually a reasonable distance into Danish territory. It is still there, pictures of the bridge now, built in 1862, are on this webpage. The railway now uses a double track bridge nearby.
