Elbe Bridge Wittenberge

At 1030 metres, the Elbe Bridge in Wittenberge is the longest new bridge built by the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the GDR. The steel structure, located southeast of Wittenberge, carries the double-track Magdeburg-Wittenberge railway line over the Elbe and the foreland from kilometer 50.7.
In June 1847, the Magdeburg-Wittenberge railway company began the construction of the first 1443-meter-long bridge over the Elbe based on a plan by Anton Ferdinand Benda. Starting on the eastern bank, it was a masonry arched bridge with five arches over the Taube Elbe with a clear width of 18.9 meters and an earthen dam 345 meters long. In the river area, an iron swing bridge with two openings of 12.6 metres each and an 8.8-metre-thick pier between them as well as a wooden lattice construction with 14 openings, three spans with a clear width of 40 metres and eleven spans with a clear width of 54 metres were built. It was followed by a flood bridge consisting of masonry vaults with twelve arches and a clear width of 18.9 metres.
