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

During the Second World War, on September 11, 1944, the two northern pillars of the viaduct were blown up by retreating German soldiers and then replaced by American pioneers with a steel structure that could accommodate a single track. This steel construction was repaired by the German Federal Railroad in the 1950s, the cost of which was 60,000 Deutschmarks. During the repair, girders were reinforced and a railing was attached. Plans to replace the steel structure with a concrete bridge failed.
Due to its poor condition, the Falkenbach Viaduct was recently only navigable at an increasingly slower speed. Since it could no longer absorb braking forces, it was finally blocked for operation. Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkenbachviadukt

An old viaduct that was previously used for rail traffic. This or the line is currently to be reactivated for passenger traffic. Should lead from Stolberg to Eupen in Belgium.
