“Hohenzollernbrücke spans 111.88 metres and is a six-track railway bridge with pedestrian and cycle paths on both sides. The bridge was constructed between 1907 and 1911 and is owned by Deutsche Bahn AG. The bridge replaced the Cathedral Bridge, which could no longer accommodate the demands of the ever-increasing rail traffic. The bridge, after construction, comprised three truss arch bridges arranged alongside each other, each featuring three arches. Hohenzollernbrücke is a crucial juncture in the German and European railway networks. The bridge is alongside the neighbouring central train station, forming an integral part of Cologne's cityscape. Hohenzollernbrücke was designated a protected monument on 5 August 1997.”
