On September 1, 1847, the first trains of the Lower Silesian-Marcher Railway crossed the newly completed Neisse Viaduct, a 475-meter-long and 35-meter-high structure, from Kohlfurt. Spanning the Neisse Valley with 30 arches, the viaduct also marked the completion of the Dresden-Görlitz line of the Saxon-Silesian Railway, thus establishing a rail connection to Saxony. Its size is unparalleled in Lower Silesia. The total amount of stone required and delivered for the construction of the Görlitz Viaduct was 1,322,255 cubic feet – equivalent to 37,442 cubic meters. The viaduct's architect was Gustav Kießler. Görlitz owes Kießler not only the Neisse Viaduct but also his involvement in the construction of the city's first train station and theater. About the person: Gustav Kießler, architect and politician, born May 12, 1807, in Görlitz; died 1883; full name: Gustav Julius Gotthelf Kießler https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nei%C3%9Fevia

The Königshain Hills (Upper Sorbian: Limas) are located in the eastern part of Upper Lusatia, west of the city of Görlitz in the Görlitz district. They lie north and south of the municipality of Königshain, from which they take their name, and comprise an extensive, approximately 50 km² area of mostly forested granite. The main elevations are the Kämpferberge (415 m above sea level) in the south, culminating at the Ahlberg, the well-known Hochstein (397.2 m above sea level) in the north, and the Hutberg in the (south)west. ``` View of the Königshain Hills Quarry lake in the Königshain Hills In the natural regional classification of Saxony, they are assigned to the macrogeochore Eastern Upper Lusatia (11), the mesogeochore Königshain Hills and Mountains (11013), and the two microgeochore Kämpferberg Ridge (including Hochstein) and Eichberg-Hutberg Ridge.[1] The entire Königshain Hills have been a protected landscape area since 1974. A bird sanctuary is located in part (Elysium) of the former Firsten quarry. https://de.wikipedia.org

The Old Town Bridge was the first fortified Neisse crossing in the city of Görlitz. Until 1945, it connected Görlitz's Old Town with the eastern suburbs in various forms. After the demolition of the 1907 half-timbered arch bridge shortly before the end of World War II and the subsequent division of the city into German and Polish parts, only the stone abutments on both banks remained as a reminder of the bridge. In 2004, a new pedestrian bridge was opened over the Lusatian Neisse between Görlitz on the German side and Zgorzelec on the Polish side. The arch bridge has a span of approximately 80 meters and is intended to be a symbol of a Europe growing together and the reunification of urban districts. (from Wikipedia)

The viaduct is 475 m long and was put into operation in 1847 with the railway line from Görlitz to Kohlfurt. More about the history at: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nei%C3%9Feviadukt_(G%C3%B6rlitz)
