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.

The Ilmtal Viaduct (or Stadtilm Viaduct) is a single-track railway bridge on the Arnstadt-Saalfeld railway line in Thuringia.
On May 1, 1888, the Prussian House of Representatives decided to build the Arnstadt-Saalfeld railway line. The foundation stone of the viaduct was laid on December 3, 1891. The company Mestwarb & Greiner from Hanover was awarded the contract for the masonry construction. Construction took about a year and a half, until June 28, 1893. The keystone was laid in the presence of the Prince and Princess of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt and other guests of honor. The tracks were laid on the viaduct from April 1, 1894. It was opened to traffic on June 18 of the same year.
With a total length of 201.3 meters, a height of 18 meters and a total of 13 arches, the viaduct was considered one of the largest railway bridges of its time (Wikipedia).
