The aqueduct leads the Leina Canal over the former railway line

The aqueduct at Leina / Sundhausen was built during the construction of the Gotha-Eisenach railway line in 1845/47. With the approval of the overall project of the Thuringian Railway from Apolda to Gerstungen by the Prussian Ministry in October 1844, the course was set for the construction of a canal bridge to cross the Leinakanal at kilometer 141.923.
A three-part vault bridge was created on which a concrete tub for the water of the canal was placed. The main building materials used were limestone from a quarry near Teutleben, and seeberg sandstone for filigree components.

When the Eisenach – Gotha railway line was electrified and expanded in 1994 as part of the German Unity No. 7 transport project, the old route under the aqueduct could not be retained. Above all, the curve radius had to be increased to increase the maximum speed. The railway line was therefore rebuilt immediately north of the aqueduct. The aqueduct was retained and at the point of the new railway crossing, the canal was led as a culvert under the tracks.

One can only hope that the building will be preserved. The Friends of the Leina Canal are committed to this. 👍
