history
On November 13, 1850, as part of the construction of the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn, work on the Ellhofer Tobelbrücke began. A wooden bridge construction was placed on brick pillars. The pillars were made of sandstone from the ravine , encased in limestone from quarries from Siebers and Knechtenhofen . The bridge was completed in 1853. The bridge was renewed around 1870/80.
