The Hohenzollernbrücke (English: Hohenzollern Bridge) is a bridge over the Rhine in Cologne. The original structure, erected between 1907 and 1911, consisted of two railway bridges and one road bridge. After the Second World War in 1945, only two railway bridges were rebuilt, and a third one was added later. As a replacement for the abandoned road bridge, the outer railway bridges were supplemented by footpaths and cycle paths. The Hohenzollern Bridge with a total length of 420 meters and the neighbouring main train station of Cologne are one of the most important junctions in the German and European rail network. With 1’220 train journeys per day, it is the busiest railway bridge in Germany. The structure, together with Cologne Central Station, is a central bottleneck in rail traffic in the Cologne region.
