Bronnbach railway bridge

The Bronnbach railway bridge is a railway bridge on the Lauda – Wertheim line near the hamlet of Bronnbach on the boundary of the Wertheim village of Reicholzheim in the Main-Tauber district in Baden-Württemberg .

History and description

The Grand Ducal Baden State Railways put the Bronnbach ( ⊙ ) railway bridge into operation in 1868 with the opening of the line to Wertheim .

The Bronnbach railway bridge is located immediately after the Bronnbach train station (and today's Bronnbach monastery stop ) in the direction of Gamburg . The length of the steel bridge is 80 meters. The bridge leads over the state road 506 and the Tauber .

In the course of the bridge construction, an old arm of the Tauber was shut down so that the Bronnbacher railway bridge only has to cross the Tauber once instead of twice. The old arm was filled in the middle and a bridge dam was built. The two Tauber-Altarm parts to the left and right of the Brückendamm were at the end of the 20th century as extensive natural monuments Alte Tauber Bergrain ( ⊙ ; since December 21, 1981) and Tauber-Altarm Bergrainwiese ( ⊙ ; since March 10, 1992) (see also: List of natural monuments in Wertheim ).

Monument protection

The railway bridge is available as part of the entirety of "Badische Tauber Valley Railway" under monument protection .
