The listed viaduct, also known as the Glienicke Viaduct or Lindenberg Viaduct, is a 95-metre-long, four-arched railway bridge, which is now operated by the ODEG (East German Railway).
The stone structure is located west of Lindenberg station and spans the 25-meter-deep Glienicke gorge in the valley of the so-called Blabbergraben. The impressive natural stone monument can be reached from the town of Glienicke via a signposted circular path.
The viaduct was first inaugurated together with the railway line in 1898. The single-track bridge was initially used by six or four pairs of passenger trains per day, but by 1930 at the latest, eight pairs of trains were running here. Shortly before the end of the war in 1945, all four bridge arches were destroyed. Reconstruction did not begin until four years later. Until then, passengers had to cross the Glienicke Gorge on foot. On October 2, 1949, continuous traffic between Königs Wusterhausen and Grunow was resumed. In 1996/1997, numerous passenger trains ran on the bridge every day. Since 2004, the East German Railway has operated the line and only runs lighter trains. Nevertheless, damage increased, which was repaired in 2014.
