#Hohenzollern Bridge Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Love Locks @ Hohenzollern Bridge
The Hohenzollern Bridge is a bridge crossing the river Rhine in the German city of Cologne (German: Köln). It crosses the Rhine at kilometre 688.5. Originally, the bridge was both a railway and road bridge. However, after its destruction in 1945 and its subsequent reconstruction, it was only accessible to rail and pedestrian traffic. Since 2008 padlocks have adorned a fence on the bridge, see all the locks symbolising undying love chained to the bridge. A must on your trip here. If you want to show your love buy a pad lock and lock it to one of the fences on the bridge.

Hohenzollernbrucke - Lock Your Love Here
#createwithtrip to the bridge of love, Hohenzollernbrucke, iconic pedestrian and rail over Rhine River with thousands of padlocks left behind by people from near and far to symbolize locking their love together.
Badly damaged in 1945, the bridge was reconstructed and now it’s the most heavily used railway bridge in Germany. This bridge is easily accessible from Cologne Cathedral, a huge landmark in Cologne.
Placing padlocks started in summer 2008, in the last estimate in 2015, there are 500,000 locks. One can spend many mins looking at the different locks, spotting interesting ones. I saw one dated from 1960, even a baby pacifier, messages in Mandarin.

The timeless legend of the music world, Sting, is coming to Cologne, Germany. Are you ready to experience the live music of this rock veteran in his 70s? When in Cologne, besides the Cologne Cathedral, these attractions are highly recommended~
1. Cologne Cathedral
The Cologne Cathedral is located in the center of Cologne, by the Rhine River, and is the iconic building of Cologne. With its 157-meter-high bell towers, it is the second tallest church in Germany and the third tallest in the world, as well as the third largest Gothic church in the world.
2. Hohenzollern Bridge
The Hohenzollern Bridge is one of the older bridges in Cologne, consisting of three railway bridges and pedestrian paths. The bridge, which connects the cathedral and spans the Rhine River, undoubtedly offers beautiful scenery.
The popularity of the Hohenzollern Bridge stems from the song 'Schenk mir dein Herz (Give Me Your Heart)' by the singer Hoehner. The story in the lyrics is set on this very bridge in Cologne and the love story associated with it. This song later became a household name in Germany and a staple on the carnival playlist.
3. Cologne Chocolate Museum
The Chocolate Museum is a must-see in Cologne, filled with the aroma of chocolate everywhere. Here you can see the entire process of how various chocolate beans are turned into chocolate. Each machine flows with real chocolate that is being processed, and it's truly a feast for the eyes.

Cologne believes that a lock is placed on the Hohenzollern Bridge and the key is thrown into the Rhine, and love can last forever. Some people have been hanging on the bridge since the summer of 2008. It is reported that there are now 160,000 locks sleeping here.
Here is the ocean of love, the love of people.
The Hohenzollern Bridge was built in 1911. For lovers who are immersed in love, the Hohenzollern Bridge is more attractive to them as a romantic bridge of love. This love bridge in Cologne erects a barbed wire wall between the railway bridge and the sidewalk. This is where the lovers padlock.
The first lock on the love bridge was born in the late summer of 2008. After a pair of lovers hanged the lock, they threw the keys into the Rhine under the bridge. After that, the lovers here have followed suit, and there are already about 160,000 locks on the bridge. It is said that Cologne's Love Bridge is the bridge with the most traffic passing through Europe. Driving 1200 trains a day allows more people to witness love.
