The Hohenzollern Bridge (German: Hohenzollernbrücke) is a bridge crossing the river Rhine in the German city of Cologne (German: Köln). It crosses the Rhine at kilometre 688.5. Originally, the bridge was both a railway and road bridge. However, after its destruction in 1945 and subsequent reconstruction, the bridge has been only accessible to rail and pedestrian traffic.

It is the most heavily-used railway bridge in Germany with more than 1,200 trains crossing daily,[3] connecting the Köln Hauptbahnhof and Köln Messe/Deutz stations.
