Short info from Wikipedia: “The structure, built in the 1850s, is one of the oldest witnesses to the history of the railway in Germany. As a landmark of Altenbeken, it is depicted in stylized form in the municipality's coat of arms.
The viaduct was destroyed in World War II by Allied air raids in November 1944 and was only rebuilt in its current form in the autumn of 1950.” (de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altenbekener_Viadukt)
