The aqueduct over the Murg is a bridge structure that connects a water line over the Murg to the former paper mill E. Holtzmann & Cie. in the northern Black Forest between Forbach - Langenbrand and Weisenbach .

The water pipe begins in an inlet structure ( ) in front of the Murgschleife above the paper mill and crosses the ridge in the loop in a tunnel to immediately before the bridge.

The aqueduct over the Murg, built in 1885, is one of the first and the oldest of the arched bridges made from unreinforced rammed concrete in Germany. Its arch, about 1.30 m thick, has a span of 40 m and an arrow height of approx. 5 m. Small arches are erected on it, which support the originally open, 2.20 m wide channel. In the gussets between the arches, there are small round recesses, some of which are only indicated.

The owner of the aqueduct was the paper mill E. Holtzmann & Cie., The design by the engineer Karl von Müller, Freiburg im Breisgau, was carried out by the construction company Thormann and Schneller from Augsburg.

The bridge has been a listed building since 1979. Today the water is led across the bridge in a pipeline.
