    (Translated by Google) One of four historical equestrian statues, each worthy of recognizing different rulers of the Hohenzollern race, on the Rhine bridge of the same name (unfortunately they are often wildly confused). This monument is located on the banks of the Kennedy and honors the Prince of Prussia and later the first German Kaiser Wilhelm I (1797-1888). It is particularly popular with tourists, because at its base offers a beautiful view of the bridge, Rhine, cathedral and old town. (Original) Eines von insgesamt vier historischen Reiterstandbildern, die jeweils unterschiedliche Herrscher des Hohenzollerngeschlechts würdigen, an der gleichnamigen Rheinbrücke (werden leider oft wild verwechselt). Dieses Denkmal liegt am Kennedyufer und würdigt den Prinz von Preußen und späteren ersten deutschen Kaiser Wilhelm I. (1797-1888) . Besonders beliebt ist es touristisch, weil sich an seinem Sockel ein schöner Blick auf Brücke, Rhein, Dom und Altstadt bietet.

    (Translated by Google) early The approach bridge on the west side of Hohenzollern Bridge in 1930 The approach bridge on the west side of Hohenzollern Bridge in 1930 A cathedral bridge with two railways was built at this location in 1859, but by the beginning of the 20th century this bridge could not withstand increasing traffic. Therefore it was replaced by the Hohenzollern Bridge from 1907 to 1911. The bridge consists of three parallel bridges, each with three steel truss arches, a total of four railways and a highway on the bridge. Although some people have criticized the location of the bridge and the railway station when the cathedral bridge was built, the Hohenzollern bridge is still located directly on the axis of the cathedral according to the direction of its predecessor. At that time, people often used architectural structures to beautify engineering structures, and bridges were often equipped with (functionally ineffective) gates. Especially since the bridge was located on the edge of the Cologne Cathedral, people at that time thought it needed to be modified. The gorgeously decorated gates of the Hohenzollern Bridge were designed by the famous Berlin architect Franz Heinrich Schwechten at the time. Its style is neo-romantic, in contrast to the Gothic cathedral. There are four equestrian statues of the King of Prussia in the Hohenzollern Dynasty and the German Emperor on both sides of the approach bridge. Today Frederick William IV and Friedrich Drucker William I on the east side of the bridge were originally located on the side of the cathedral, and they were completed by the time of the cathedral bridge. Frederick III on the west side of the bridge and William II, cast in his lifetime, were added later. They symbolize Prussia's domination of the Rhineland. (Original) 早 1930年霍亨索伦桥的西侧引桥 1930年霍亨索伦桥的西侧引桥 在1859年在这个位置上就已经建起了一座有两股铁路的大教堂桥,但是到20世纪初这座桥无法承受不断提高的交通量。因此从1907年至1911年它被霍亨索伦桥取代。这座桥由三座平行的桥组成,每座桥上有三个钢铁桁架拱,桥上共有四顾铁路和一条公路。虽然在造大教堂桥的时候就已经有人批评桥和火车站的位置,但是霍亨索伦桥还是依照其前身的走向,直接位于大教堂的轴心线上。 当时人们常常使用建筑结构来把工程结构美化起来,桥梁往往被配上(在功能上完全没有作用的)大门。尤其由于这座桥位于科隆主教座堂的边上,因此当时的人认为需要进行修饰。霍亨索伦桥装饰华美的大门是由当时著名的柏林建筑师弗朗茨·海因里希·施韦希滕设计的。其风格是新浪漫主义,与哥特式的大教堂呈对比。在桥的引桥两侧共有四座霍亨索伦王朝普鲁士国王和德国皇帝的骑马像。今天桥东侧的腓特烈·威廉四世和弗里德里希·德拉克塑造的威廉一世原本位于大教堂侧,在大教堂桥的时候就已经完工了。桥西侧的腓特烈三世和在他生前就铸成的威廉二世是后来添加的。它们象征普鲁士对莱茵兰的统治。
