Dömitzer Brücke, Skywalk / Dömitz bridge, skywalk

Die Dömitzer Eisenbahnbrücke, erbaut zwischen 1870 und 1873, war eine der längsten Eisenbahnbrücken Deutschlands mit einer Gesamtlänge von etwa 986 Metern.
Sie überspannte die Elbe bei Dömitz und war Teil der Bahnstrecke von Wittenberge nach Lüneburg.

Die Brücke bestand aus mehreren Segmenten:

Westliches Vorland: 16 Vorlandbrücken mit einer Stützweite von jeweils 33,9 Metern.
Flussbereich: Vier Hauptöffnungen mit Stützweiten von jeweils 67,8 Metern sowie eine Drehbrücke mit zwei Segmenten à 18,2 Metern.
Östliches Vorland: Vier Brücken mit Stützweiten von jeweils 33,9 Metern.
Die Überbauten waren als Balkenbrücken mit schmiedeeisernen Fachwerkträgern und untenliegender Fahrbahn konstruiert. Die Längsträger wurden als Schwedlerträger ausgeführt, deren Konstruktionshöhe von maximal 10 Metern dem Verlauf der Momentenbeanspruchung folgte.

Im April 1945 wurde die Brücke durch einen Luftangriff teilweise zerstört, wobei insbesondere der östlichste Strompfeiler beschädigt wurde, was zum Einsturz eines der Stromüberbauten führte.
In den folgenden Jahrzehnten wurden weitere Teile der Brücke abgetragen, sodass heute nur noch die westlichen Vorlandbrücken erhalten sind.

Im August 2023 wurde auf vier sanierten Vorlandbrückenbögen ein 130 Meter langer Skywalk eröffnet, der Besuchern einen Einblick in die historische Konstruktion und einen Ausblick über die Elblandschaft bietet.
Die Dömitzer Eisenbahnbrücke ist ein bedeutendes Industriedenkmal und erinnert an die Ingenieurskunst des 19. Jahrhunderts sowie an die wechselvolle Geschichte der Region.

-----------------------------------------

The Dömitz Railway Bridge, built between 1870 and 1873, was one of the longest railway bridges in Germany, with a total length of approximately 986 meters.
It spanned the Elbe River near Dömitz and was part of the railway line from Wittenberge to Lüneburg.

The bridge consisted of several segments:

Western Foreland: 16 foreland bridges, each with a span of 33.9 meters.
River Section: Four main openings, each with a span of 67.8 meters, as well as a swing bridge with two segments of 18.2 meters each.
Eastern Foreland: Four bridges, each with a span of 33.9 meters.
The superstructures were designed as beam bridges with wrought iron trusses and a lower deck. The longitudinal girders were built as Schwedler girders, with a maximum construction height of 10 meters following the course of moment stress.

In April 1945, the bridge was partially destroyed by an air raid, with the easternmost river pier being particularly damaged, leading to the collapse of one of the river spans.
In the following decades, additional parts of the bridge were dismantled, so that today only the western foreland bridges remain.

In August 2023, a 130-meter-long skywalk was opened on four restored foreland bridge arches, offering visitors an insight into the historic construction and a panoramic view of the Elbe landscape.

The Dömitz Railway Bridge is an important industrial monument, commemorating 19th-century engineering and the region’s turbulent history. (Quelle/source: Internet)

Pumping stations keep the Netherlands dry, otherwise large parts of the country would be flooded, also in normal times, so not only in case of extreme weather or a rising level of the sea.

Pumping station "De Ontginning" was built in 1929 and it is not in use any longer as a pumping station. Pumping stations like this one keep the Netherlands dry, otherwise large parts of the country would be flooded, also in normal times, so not only in case of extreme weather or a rising level of the sea.

Electric Pumping Station "Tripgemaal", Gersloot, province of Fryslân, Netherlands

Pumping station "Tripgemaal" was built in 1876. Originally it was a steam pumping station, in 1921 the motor was replaced by two diesel motors and in 1932 these were replaced by two electric motors. The pumping station functioned till 1976. Pumping stations like this one keep the Netherlands dry, otherwise large parts of the country would be flooded, also in normal times, so not only in case of extreme weather or a rising level of the sea.
