Connecting Cologne's main train station with the Deutz station, the Hohenzollern Bridge stands as a significant architectural monument in North Rhine-Westphalia. Initially constructed between 1907 and 1911, it was rebuilt with two rail bridges after 1945 and later expanded with a third. It now includes pedestrian and bicycle paths in place of the original road section.
