About

The Wesel Railway Bridge was a bridge on the Haltern–Venlo railway, built as part of the Hamburg–Venlo railway by the Cologne-Minden Railway Company, and opened on 1 March 1874. The 1,950-metre (6, 400 ft) long railway bridge at Wesel was the last Rhine bridge remaining in German hands during World War II.
