The Hohenzollern Bridge is a steel arch railway bridge spanning the Rhine directly adjacent to Cologne Cathedral. Rebuilt after WWII destruction, it carries more train traffic than any other bridge in Germany and has become famous for the thousands of love locks attached to its pedestrian railings.
The original bridge was completed in 1911 with elaborate stone gate towers. German troops destroyed it in March 1945; the current structure was rebuilt between 1948 and 1959 without the original towers.
