A distinctive and descriptively-named metal Double "fish-belly" Railway Bridge manufactured by Märklin from around ~1912 to around ~1930.
Where strutted railway bridges sometimes have a curved top per section for rigidity, or a curved bottom, this has both, producing a "fish-like" profile.
The bridge is built into the museum's 1930s model railway layout (just to the right of the Märklin Grand Station) and is used without its ramps (which aren't necessary on this part of the layout, as the bridge sections are being used "on the level").
