The Horb am Neckar railway bridge leads the Stuttgart – Tuttlingen (Gäubahn) railway over the Neckar in Horb am Neckar .

The double-track bridge connects the lying on the right side of the river station area and crosses the Neckar and Mühlkanal in an arc having a radius of curvature of 685 m.

The 145 m long bridge has three fields with field widths of 45.69 + 55.19 + 43.69 m. Her superstructure consists of an easy haunched prestressed concrete - concrete box with a height of 2.23 m to 2.70.

It was built between 1958 and 1959 and was one of the first prestressed concrete bridges with a curved plan.

It replaced a double-track steel truss bridge with three Schwedler girders , built between 1905 and 1907 , which had been damaged by bombs in World War II .

This bridge triggered in turn a longer, originally single-track bridge with six iron Fishbellied carriers from that from 1872 to 1874 for the section Eutingen the former -Horch Nagold railway was built.
