The Diedenhain Viaduct is 210 meters long and 51 meters high. It is part of the Limmritz–Waldheim section of the Riesa–Chemnitz railway, also known as the Bankruptcy Mile. The costs of building the six viaducts, retaining walls, and earthworks on a stretch of just 7.5 kilometers caused the private railway company to become insolvent. In 1850, the company was nationalized, and two years later, the line was incorporated into the Niederrhein Railway as part of the Niederrhein Railway.
