Leobersdorf aqueduct
The Leobersdorf aqueduct is a listed building of the Viennese water supply in the course of the 1st Viennese high spring water pipeline at the entrance of the Triesting valley west of the southern motorway in the municipality of Leobersdorf in Lower Austria . The building is also protected by the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict .
The Leobersdorf aqueduct, built between 1870 and 1873, is an approximately 1,065 meter long valley crossing with 22 visible arches with segmental arches with a span of 9.48 meters each and 134 arches in the embankment. The span of these arches is around 3.8 meters. With an average total height of the aqueduct of 8.9 meters, the clear height of the open arches is approximately 5 meters.
In its northern part, the structure crosses the main river Triesting . When the Vienna City Council decided in June 1871 to have all work on the water pipeline that had been completed or in the process of being completed checked, the final report of the inquiry held in January 1872 on the aqueduct of the water pipeline requested that the five arches of the Triesting Bridge already be completed to be dismantled as this was envisaged and demanded by the municipal construction management. In addition to the five arches of the Leobersdorf property, 135 arches were completed at that time, the quality of which the Enquête Commission raised no objections.
This valley crossing was built with a slight S-shape in the area of the open route made of stone, which was clad with ashlars. The remaining pillars were built from quarry stone masonry. The vaults are made of bricks and have square frames.
Entry tower 30 ( ) is located at the southern end of the aqueduct .
