Kleinbahnbrücke

The Kleinbahnbrücke in the East Westphalian town of Minden in North Rhine-Westphalia is a railway bridge and one of a total of six bridges over the Weser in the area of the city. It was built in 1898 and is a listed building.

Minden station on the Cologne-Minden Railway, which was put into operation in 1847, was built outside the city on the other bank of the Weser. When the development of rural areas with so-called small railways began within the framework of the Prussian Light Railway Act of 1892, a line of the narrow-gauge Minden district railways was built from the state station on the eastern bank of the Weser over the Weser to the northern part of the city centre of Minden and then, after overcoming a terrain step, into the northern surrounding area to Petershagen. This also opened a new station north of the city, which was closer to the city centre. To cross the river, the light railway bridge was built as a riveted steel truss construction with a long flood bridge on the eastern bank.
