Cologne-Rodenkirchen Rhine Bridge
A slender motorway suspension bridge in southern Cologne – on its opening in 1941 it was Germany's first true suspension bridge and Europe's largest.
Deutzer Brücke
A central road and light-rail bridge between Heumarkt and Deutz – on a spot where the Romans already crossed the Rhine around 310 AD.
Dombrücke
Cologne's first permanent modern Rhine crossing (1859), nicknamed the ‘mousetrap' – demolished in 1911 and replaced by the Hohenzollern Bridge.
Hohenzollernbrücke (Cologne)
Germany's busiest railway bridge, right beside the cathedral – famous for its thousands of love locks and the view across the old town.

A new cable-stayed A 1 bridge in northern Cologne – an over-one-kilometre structure with a foot and cycle path, replacing a worn-out bridge from 1965.
Mülheimer Brücke
An elegant 1951 suspension bridge between Mülheim and Riehl – the first painted in the famous ‘Cologne bridge green'.
Severinsbrücke
A striking cable-stayed bridge with a single A-shaped pylon – Cologne's first complete new bridge after the war and a listed monument since 1989.
