At 409.2 m (1,342.5 ft) long, Hohenzollern Bridge serves as a major crossing over the Rhine river. Nearly 1,200 trains cross the river here each day, making it Germany's most heavily used railway bridge. Wander across the Rhine for sweeping views of the rest of the city on both banks. You can't miss the famous Cologne Cathedral. Be sure to look for the many "love locks" adorning the bridge railings. These fairly new padlocks are supposed to bring hopeful couples good luck. The original bridge was destroyed during World War II. The impressive metal structure you see now was built in 1948. Planning Cologne trip won't be overwhelming when you use Inspirock's itinerary maker.

Beautiful bridge by the cathedral. It gives you a great view of the river. Not sure about all the added weight of the lovers locks though. They continually remove them in Paris and Salzburg due...

Iconic railway bridge over the Rhine, destroyed during WW2, and reconstructed. The bridge is famous for the countless number of lovelocks attached to the fence. Just amazing.
-
Beautiful bridge with lovely views of the city along the river. Covered in love locks which is also pretty cool! Popular walking/biking path to get from one side of the river to the other. We stayed on the far side of the river and used this to go into the city each day while we visited

BRING A LOCK! Is one of the main points of attraction and cologne besides the cathedral. I want to go there come on bring a lock to contribute 😉
-
Nice spot in the centre of Cologne. The bridge seems quite old but is sturdily built. The main attraction is, of course, the thousands of locks from people all over the world. The density of locks increases the closer you are to the Dom side of the bridge. The oldest lock I could find was from 1987, there definitely must be many more that are older for sure! It offers a nice view of the Cologne cathedral, St Martin's church and the Chocolate factory. All in all, it's a nice place to visit. I'll recommend going in the morning (hopefully it's less crowded then) as it was quite busy during the evening.
-
Never seen so many locks concentrated in the same place. How much will they have costed all together? 1/2 million euro? A bridge that even before of lovers makes the happiness of companies that produce padlocks.
