Abstract

The article provides a history and analysis of the Teufelsgraben aqueduct built in 1890 to bring drinking water to the city of Munich, Germany, by the construction firm of Eugen Dyckerhoff, later known for building bridges. One of the first large construction projects of Germany, in which the building material of pressed cement, or Portland cement, was used, the aqueduct is compared to ones such as the Caserta in Italy, and it is discussed as an example of late 19th century concrete bridge building.
