Together with the neighbouring main railway station 🚉 , it is one of the most important junctions in the German and European railway network. Together with Cologne Cathedral, the structure is an integral part of Cologne's cityscape and, with 1220 train journeys per day, it is the busiest railway bridge in Germany.
Yes, the bridge is beautiful to look at. However, it has been known for something else for years - the tradition of couples in love attaching a small padlock 🔒, labelled with their name and date, to the railings of the Hohenzollern Bridge in order to - quite romantically - swear eternal love and fidelity to each other. The key 🔑 is traditionally thrown into the Rhine together. I love romances! Kisses 😘
