Erzbahnbrücke

Where once coal tenders drove, today it is easy to cycle. The many bridges bear witness to the wealth of ideas of the region in relation to steel structures. If art also comes from ability, all these bridges are works of art in industrial history.

The Erzbahnbrücke 9 is the longest bridge construction of the Erzbahn.
Especially the sight of East Prussia Street is impressive.

Very nice view from the top.

Pretty long the bridge

Great former railway line, with many attractions.

Kiosk at the start of the bridge and then very nice view from the top

It is the longest bridge construction on the Erzbahn teasse.

Nice and long thing but a bit tight ... behind a nice rest at Holger Erzbahnbude.

An old bridge for trains is today a connection for pedestrians and cyclists

Nice view from above.

Great, long bridge from the one has a great view.

Very nice route

The bike and footpath leads here in lofty height over a former railway bridge.

View of the Erzbahn bridge from a different perspective near the Erzbahnbude.

Riding your bike over here where the railroad used to go is something special.

Magnificent bridge structure, which you can only partially see when driving ...

Great bridge on the ore railway line! An eye-catcher from above and below! The ore and coal trains used to travel here between the Rhine-Herne Canal and Bochum!

At 344 m, the pillar railway is the longest bridge section of the ore railway. It was built 1918-1919 to connect the Alma colliery to the railway. The bridge's roadway is 14 meters above ground level. The structure spans the Gelsenkirchen-Wanne freight railway line with two half-timbered constructions of 33 meters in length and the Cologne-Minden railway with 45.6 meters. In between there are 21 steel fields with a length of 13.35 meters each, which are bolted to the foundation and could thus be readjusted if mining damage occurred. The repair of the bridge was completed at the end of 2005. The box bridges were lifted during the renovation.
The picture showed the view from the northwest, about 2/3 of the bridge length can be seen.Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erzbahn_(Bochum)

The ore railway bridge is located almost exactly in the middle of the beautiful ore railway lines between the Jahrhunderthalle in Bochum and the Rhine-Herne canal.
