Impressive viaduct on the Stolberg-Walheim railway line. It spans the Inde at Kornelimünster, is 145 meters long and has eight openings.

😂 The Romans really have nothing to do with that !!! 😂😂😂

As early as the middle of the 19th century there were first considerations to build a railway connection from Stolberg towards Belgium and Luxembourg. After the section of the Vennbahn between the Aachen-Rothe Erde and Walheim stations was built in 1885, the line from Stolberg Central Station via Stolberg-Hammer to Walheim was completed in 1889 and connected to the Vennbahn. In the course of this extension, the viaduct was led over the Indetal, also known locally as the Falkenbachtal. The Falkenbach Viaduct (also known as the Schlausermühle Viaduct) was originally supposed to have only five arches; longer dams at both ends should compensate for the difference in height. Since the resulting width of this dam would have required additional land acquisition, a longer viaduct with eight arches was built. Limestone was chosen as the building material. The section to Walheim, on which the viaduct is located, was opened on December 21, 1889.
