The name of the fragrance known as "Eau de Cologne" leaves you in no doubt as to where this perfume originated – namely here in Cologne. For many people, this can only mean one thing: the "4711 Original Eau de Cologne" – an icon among Eaux de Cologne. Small wonder that "Original Eau de Cologne" was repeatedly named the brand of the century.

The House of 4711 is a sightseeing hotspot in the city center of Cologne, which represents creativity in the art of perfumery since 225 years. The oldest Eau de Cologne was born in October of 1792, when Wilhelm Muelhens received a secret recipe as a wedding gift. This recipe was for an “acqua mirabilis,” or a miracle water intended for internal as well as external use. Soon after, Wilhelm opened a manufactory in the Glockengasse (meaning "Clock Tower Square") area of Cologne, Germany. He marketed his miracle water as a health drink served undiluted or mixed with wine.

The original eau de cologne is now over two centuries old—there must be a secret that keeps people coming back for hundreds of years. The brand chalks this success up to high-quality ingredients and essential oils. The bright, fresh top note grabs attention right away --you can't help but notice it from the first spray or splash. All the ingredients and scents work in harmony. Bergamot, lemon, and orange provide a unique revitalizing effect. Lavender and rosemary calm and relax with their deep, herbal tones. Bitter orange extract (also known as Neroli) creates a positive and calming base note.

Not only cologne that the shops were selling, but also some souvenirs from Koln such as magnet, postcards and many more.

The Hohenzollern Bridge crosses the Rhine at kilometer 688.5. Initially, this bridge was used for railways and highways, but after it was demolished in 1945, this bridge was only used for trains and sidewalks. Named the Hohenzollernbrucke, this bridge is very unique because you can find thousands of love locks bearing the names of couples who have visited this place.

It is not known how many padlocks are attached around this bridge. The reason is, thousands of tourists and residents around Cologne put "love locks" there as a symbol of their affection for their partner.

However, it is estimated that there are around 40 thousand love locks hanging on the bridge to date. This is a fantastic number, considering that the tradition of installing love locks on the bridge only started in 2008. If you calculate it, it means that there are around 40 thousand couples or 80 thousand people who have followed the tradition of installing this love lock.

Even though it is unique, in fact expressing love for your partner by installing a padlock creates new problems on the Hohenzollern Bridge. This is because the tradition of installing love locks makes the bridge weigh around 2 tons. Not to mention, the keys to the locks were thrown into the bottom of the Rhine River, which polluted the river.

Despite all the existing problems, this bridge is actually able to attract thousands of tourists every year. Especially when Valentine's Day arrives, because there are several couples who want to install padlocks

 on the Hohenzollern Bridge, or just walk around and take photos on the walls of this unique bridge.

Past the Museum Ludwig and across Heinrich-Böll-Platz is the footpath onto the bridge. This means that the bridge can be reached in just a few minutes from the main railway station. The Hohenzollern Bridge can also be easily reached from Cologne Deutz Messe station. The distance is 450 m.
