| Dark reason | The railway viaduct was built as part of the construction of the railway line from Lauscha to Bock-Wallendorf from 1911 to 1913. The planning was the responsibility of the Erfurt Railway Directorate under the direction of the government master builder Walter Kasten. The company Diss & Co. from Halle did not build the viaduct classically with quarry stone masonry, but for the first time unreinforced stamped concrete was used for viaducts along the route . The structure spans the Finsterer Grund valley with the Kieselbach with eight vaults and five spar vaults each over the vaults . The 197 meter long bridge is curved in plan with a radius of 250 meters and has a height of up to 25.5 meters. Major repairs were carried out in 1967 and from 1983 to 1985. In the case of the latter, there were considerable delays due to missing scaffolding parts and material, which is why the viaduct had to be closed for a few months at the beginning of 1985. The building has not been used since 1997. |
