The concrete arch bridge between Neudeck and Kleinrössen over the Schwarze Elster was built between 1904 and 1905. The technical monument is of particular importance because it is one of the last remaining evidence of early concrete bridge construction in Germany.

Technical specifications

The concrete arch bridge is 70.45 m long. The clear width of the central arch is 24.15 m, that of the two side arches 16.35 m. The arches are made of unreinforced stamped concrete and have a structure on the front that is reminiscent of a natural stone facing. Gravel and sand form the wear layer, the road surface is paved with reading stones. For the bridge ramps and the earth reinforcement approx. 80,000 m³ of earth built.

history

The construction of the bridge was financed by the state of Halle / Merseburg. The owner of Neudeck Castle , Major Lettre, was also involved in the financing. The bridge was to be blown up in April 1945 by the withdrawing German troops in order to stop the advance of the Russian troops. The farmer Otto Nicklisch prevented the demolition. The bridge was closed to all traffic from 1996. The traffic was routed through a makeshift structure built in parallel. Due to its poor condition, the bridge should be demolished in 2006. The State Office for Monument Preservation was able to prevent it. However, for many years nothing was done about the continuing decline. The bridge was renovated from 2017 and reopened to traffic in 2018. The renovation project was nominated for the German Bridge Construction Prize 2020.
