The Altmühlüberleiter was built between 1972 and 1981. The East section was completed in the fall of 1977. The punch of the tunnel took place on February 13, 1978. In 1985, the canal went into operation. Before the construction of the tunnel, the subsoil was explored using drill holes and a test tunnel. After that, a milling-boring machine drilled the actual tunnel.

The approximately 8.7 km long overpass connects the Altmühlsee with the Kleiner Brombachsee, which is approximately 4 m lower. The core is a tunnel approximately 2.7 km long. It crosses under the ridge east of Gunzenhausen, which separates the water catchment areas of the Danube and Rhine (European Main Watershed).

Here, before the bridge disappears underground, you can see the tool that was used to pierce the path back then
