Using Wikipedia's page on the Hannover-Wuertzburg line (http://www.answers.com/topic/hanover-w-rzburg-high-speed-rail-line) and the visible kilometer marker (291.5) on the brige I'll say that it's the Maintalbrücke in Gemünden. The bridge has no supports in the river itself to allow for barge traffic on the Main River.
The road at the far end of the bridge matches that of the arial view.

The kilometre reading was one dead giveaway, if someone knows to check the Wiki page. But you could have had it easier. The river is clearly a major river (major for Germany) -- and the entire line from Hannover to Würzburg crosses only two, the Main (twice) and the final, wider part of the Fulda (again twice). (The other line of similar age, Mannheim-Stuttgart, crosses none.) Of the four bridges, only the Maintalbrücke Gemünden fits the geography. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
