Wendel Bollman (January 21, 1814 – 1884) was an American self-taught civil engineer, best known for his iron railway bridges. Only one of his patented "Bollman truss" bridges survives, the Bollman Truss Railroad Bridge in Savage, Maryland. The Wells Creek Bollman Bridge near Meyersdale, Pennsylvania is also standing, although that bridge uses the Warren truss system.

  • Bollman is important not only because he was perhaps the most successful of the latter class, but because he was probably also the last. He may be said to be a true representative of the transitional period between intuitive and exact engineering. (en)
