The Feuerbach Viaduct is a railway bridge of the Stuttgart-Untertürkheim-Kornwestheim freight bypass that crosses the Feuerbach valley in the Zazenhausen district of the state capital of Stuttgart .
history
As part of the construction of the bypass route known as the “Schusterbahn”, the Feuerbach valley had to be bridged in addition to the Neckar crossing with the Stuttgart-Münster railway viaduct . The first viaduct was therefore built from 1884 to 1896. From 1902 to 1904 the two-track expansion took place. After almost 90 years of use, the viaduct suffered massive damage, including the need to secure the bridge piers with bandages. For this reason and because of the route utilization, the safety aspects, the increase in route speed and noise protection , the decision was made to build a new building. Planning began in 1977, planning approval took place from 1978 to 1979. The new building was built next to the old viaduct from May 22, 1980 to September 20, 1982 and put into operation on January 18, 1983. The old viaduct was then torn down, the steel half-timbered structures were lifted down and the bridge piers were blown up. The new Feuerbach Viaduct was the first prestressed concrete viaduct of the Deutsche Bundesbahn to be in operation .
construction
1. Feuerbach Viaduct
The first bridge, completed in 1896, was a steel truss bridge with separate superstructures for each track. The superstructures bridged a length of 206 meters with two concrete pillars with red sandstone cladding. The half-timbered construction was created by the Esslingen machine factory . The structure weighed a total of 1,720 tons.
2. Feuerbach Viaduct
In addition to the box girder bridge made of prestressed concrete , a new truss bridge and a steel sheet metal girder bridge were also worked out in the planning . Both the population and the city of Stuttgart were in favor of the reinforced concrete design, which was provided with reinforced concrete parapets for reasons of noise protection. The bridge spans a length of 264 meters on five reinforced concrete pillars and a width of 10.66 meters. The superstructures weigh 9,600 tons.
