Hunsrückquerbahn Viaduct

The railway line Hunsrückquerbahn branched off the Nahetalbahn in Langenlonsheim and led via Simmern to Hermeskeil. The four-arched viaduct of the former railway line is north-east of Rascheid over the Rasbach.

The viaduct has a length of approx. 80 meters with 4 arches, each with a clear width of 16 meters. The height is about 28 meters. The viaduct is at a 1:40 incline and in an arch.After 40 years of operation, the structure was blown up by German troops in the late afternoon of March 16, 1945. Traffic in this section has now been idle for more than 5 years. The destruction was almost complete. The viaduct was rebuilt in concrete between 1948 and 1950. The concrete was covered with quarry stone.
