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
