The railway line between Inzigkofen and Tuttlingen was built between 1887 and 1890.
4 tunnels had to be blown up and 12 bridges had to be built over the Danube, a pioneering feat.
The Thierstein Tunnel is 250 m long and planned to have two tracks. The holes for the explosive charges had to be drilled by hand. The bridges were delivered prefabricated and riveted on site.
The abutments made of red sandstone were transported from the Black Forest by horse-drawn carriages.
