The Ilm Viaduct (or Stadtilm Viaduct or Ilm Valley Viaduct) is a single-track railway bridge on the Arnstadt–Saalfeld railway line between kilometers 15.064 and 15.264. It spans the Ilm and the federal highway 87 in Stadtilm, Thuringia. Viaducts, very often built with bricks, are gigantic masterpieces of architecture. The Göltzsch Valley Bridge in the Vogtland district of Saxony is the largest brick bridge in the world and also a masterpiece. This one is of course a little smaller, but no less interesting.
