The Kremser Eisenbahnbrücke is a truss bridge over the Danube in Lower Austria . It connects the city of Krems with the municipality of Mautern an der Donau . It serves the train traffic of the single-track Kremser Bahn between the city on the Danube and the Tullnerfelder Bahn in Herzogenburg and at the same time as a carrier of public supply lines for electricity, gas and telecommunications. To the west is the Mauterner Brücke , to the east the Danube Bridge Krems , two road bridges.
description
The total of 685 m long bridge has four semi-parabolic girders with spans of 82 m above the river openings and two semi-parabolic girders with 63 m above the foreland openings. On the left side of the Danube there are three and on the right side four girder bridges, each with a span of 32 m.
history
The bridge was built by the Ig. Gridl , the leading Austrian steel construction company of its time, and completed in 1889.
Immediately before the end of the Second World War , on the night of 7/8 May 1945, it was blown up on the orders of Colonel Ferdinand Soche. At first a roller ferry was used, in December 1951 the bridge was navigable again.
From 1986 to 1991 it underwent a general overhaul. The remaining original structures were replaced.
On December 17, 2005, she was damaged by an 8,000-ton push ship, which changed its direction of travel due to the captain's sudden faint and collided with one of the pillars. This was moved 2.17 m upstream so that the bridge had to be closed. In order to prepare for the renovation, a simulation was carried out in which the Eurocode for extraordinary effects on structures was applied for the first time . Train operations could be resumed about a year after the collision. The claim by ÖBB Infrastruktur AG for damages for the repair of the bridge for around 5.9 million euros was dismissed.
