There are hundreds of thousands love locks at the Hollenzollern bridge crossing the Rhine. This video shows only a small part of the bridge. Maybe 70% are ABUS 72/40.
I got a lock on there that says I love myself (well I ♥ me) and its still just as true today as it was 5 years ago.... the bridge looks crazy now with all those locks.
Unbelievably, each lock has it's own story behind it. A wish,a prayer. Something to make sure non is forgotten To all of you,and your dreams of hope or love. I give you my hopes of it coming true for you all We all need a dream to come true for us. God Bless and your wish or dream is in line. Keep the fate your in line. Love you guys, there calling another name, good luck.
As Pocket Women says......TEMPTATION EVERYWHERE. Wow I don't think I should go there....LOL! I am surprise that bridge holds up, so many have fallen. Thanks for sharing the amazing site. 👍👍👍👍🧡
😁 I used the bridge for years to ride with my bicycle to the office. I was surprised how many locks were added in the last five years since I moved to the other side of the Rhine.
The bridge is German engineering 😅 it's a bridge built in 1911 for trains to the main station. they remove the locks if they are at a door otherwise they are legal.
It's a tradition to throw the keys in the throne. The weight is not a problem, the locks are legal and will not be removed unless they block a door. The bridge is German engineering,I don't think it's possible to add enough locks to collapse the bridge 😉
If your not dizzy after that.... I certainly am 🤣 All you need to do now buddy is put ONE lock on the other side and start a new trend. You could call them hate locks 😁😁😁😁
@@Keymaster Hahaha! You don't need to sell me on German engineering, I started working as a machinist and was trained by Germans (also own ONLY German cars), but the laws of physics are kind of stringent 😉😂. You're right though, they would have thought of that 😉👍
can you pick them? it kinda violates the first rule of picking, but still at that point they're on there they don't belong to anybody?? Mighty tempting, I don't have many locks boy would that fill the lab lol. awesome video
There was a court decision some years ago: it's illegal to pick the locks, they still belong to the people that put the lock in place and it is allowed to place love locks there.
Beautiful locks. Wonder if lockpickers train with these. Perhaps nobody has guts to do it as you could find yourself in the river if one of those lock owners sees you.
In the movie Now You See Me, a similar scene of locks on a bridge is shown. There are other places where it’s allowed legally and to be legally picked as well. I also would like to point out another movie reference Terminator 2 Judgement Day we the viewer are shown Sarah Conner stealing a large paper clip and holding it in her mouth and spitting it out and opening her locked buckle restraints bending and shaping it to open the key way on the small buckle and than freeing herself which she than breaks the paper clip in half and using one part as a thin tension wrench and the other half as the pick and successfully opens a deadbolt lock for her room. My criticism of the scene is the mental hospital must have been using some narrow European locks and key ways that allowed a half of a large paper clip to seat into the bottom of the key way perfectly and still rotate the cylinder as she manipulated the pins. The tolerances must have been really light for a lock from the 90’s and the large paper clip must have been very well constructed.
I searched for the scene in now you see me. You are right, it's a bridge in Paris and I heard that the love lock cult started in Paris. I was in Paris maybe 5 years ago and I have seen some locks but most of them were removed because they damaged the bridges.
Keymaster You should look up the scene from Terminator 2 where Sarah escapes and picks the locks, That’s something that should be given a closer look just to see how plausible it is to do especially with a single large paper clip.
@@BelmontClan I found the clip: czcams.com/video/ni6mw6Mwfqw/video.html are there any lock picking scenes in movies that don't look fake? At least she is tensioning the lock.
Keymaster I agree there that’s why it’s worth mentioning because she’s using a tensioning tool. There’s 1995 movie The Saint where as a child the character Simon Templar takes a small pocket knife and fashions a lockpick from the small blade that he first opens a Lever style lock he has a small file that he uses to shape the blade, he has a lapel pin with a crucifix on it that he uses to hold open the cover of the lock he inserts the knife blade and with a few turns overs the lever lock and than opens a door to a girl’s dorm. In the scene of Simon Templar shows him in a room with a large lockpick set in a white canvas roll up kit with a large flap on the top. The handles appeared to be flat aluminum and the picks appeared to be spring steel with them painted black so given the 90’s the pick set could have been made by HPC better known as Hudson which had many of there picks done in spring steel. That’s another one, The movie Blue Streak shows the character a thief who’s pretending to be a cop Miles played by Martin Lawerence opens a padlock on a truck with a shank that could fit in his wallet. Another well known movie was the remake of Gone In 60 Seconds starring Nicolas Cage, some of the tools of lock picking were shown, lock picking set in black roll out case, manual lock picking gun that was apparently attached to electronic devices which made zero sense when a set of tryout keys/automotive jigglers would have worked faster also given that it was a 90’s movie and they were stealing a lot of late model cars, I did see a slim Jim bar being used to open a door. And going back to the 80’s very early 90’s the movie Twins showing the character Vincent played by Danny DeVito using a uniquely bent wire rod with a piece of red rubbery plastic on one end to open a car door in which he tells his brother Julius played by Arnold Shwartzenegger I once say a guy from the auto club do this he unlocks the door and reply’s what do you know beginners luck. I’m sure there are other lock picking, lock opening situations in other movies. As for one that looked fake fake I give you the opening of the movie XXX staring Vin Diesel. An NSA agent zip lines down on a spear launcher looking thing and grabs something off a bad guy he knocked out, than starts running for cover, comes to a door he can’t open and pulls out a tool that looks like half the size of a Kronos electric pick gun that has a pick pop out at the press of a button that looks like a small saw blade from a Swiss Army knife that makes some loud rattling sounds in the lock it’s stuck in and magically the door is open, the location was Eastern Europe the Chezk Republic.
What an awesome sight to see. A pickers paradise with a view. I wonder if all the keys are thrown into the river after the locks are placed on the bridge. A beautiful place to profess ones love for another, the moment captured on a lock and attached to the bridge forevermore. What is the position of the Council over there, once the locks are placed on the bridge are they considered personal property still or are they now public property for the Council to remove at any time. Thanks for this video really good to see, cheers
You are right, the keys are in thrown into the river. There was a court decision some years ago, it's not allowed to steal the locks. Only locks that are a problem to the bridge, like locks that block the doors, will be removed. There is a plan to renew the anti-corrosion paint and they will remove the locks for that, but they allow new locks after the maintenance of the bridge.
I got a lock on there that says I love myself (well I ♥ me) and its still just as true today as it was 5 years ago.... the bridge looks crazy now with all those locks.
I just looked it up: in 2017 they estimated 150,000 locks with a weight of 35 tons. And there are much more locks now.
Wow thats a lot damege i Mean locks, oops i did it again😂😂😂
Unbelievably, each lock has it's own story behind it. A wish,a prayer. Something to make sure non is forgotten
To all of you,and your dreams of hope or love. I give you my hopes of it coming true for you all

Thanks for sharing the amazing site. 👍👍👍👍🧡
German engineering 😆 the locks are legal, they keep the doors free but locks after allowed at the fence.
Grab a chair and happy picking lol!
That's a lot of locks in one place. Almost looks like my collection.... Lmao haha I wish.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers and Happy Pickin!
😄😆
This was neat-o to see again! Thanx!
😁 I used the bridge for years to ride with my bicycle to the office. I was surprised how many locks were added in the last five years since I moved to the other side of the Rhine.
Hey I can tell my wife I don’t have that many locks now. Lol thanks for showing
😄😆🤣
Oh wow look at all those love locks if the bridge look like that can you imagine what the water look like with all the keys 😂😂
Here I come Michael, see you in a few hours 😀😀
😄😁
That's incredible.
😁
Wow!!!! Hard to believe it has not collapsed under all that weight!!!
Thank you for sharing this!!!
Stay safe my friend!!!
🐈👍🐈🐾😷👏
No problem, German engineering. 😆😅🤣
Keymaster 🤣👍👍👍
Wow I can't imagine the weight that that adds to the bridge. Good to see your brother.
I was thinking king the same thing LOL 😂🤔💭
The bridge is German engineering 😅 it's a bridge built in 1911 for trains to the main station.
they remove the locks if they are at a door otherwise they are legal.
Keymaster That’s awesome buddy
That's a massive amount of Locks, I hope the bridge was over engineered
Impresionante.... Son muchos... 👍🔒🔓
holy crap that is a lot of locks!
Wow that some collection of lock
Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
Thinking about where all the keys are. That is an insane extra weight added to the construction. Hope they call LPL when the bridge needs painting.

🤣
I put a few of my love locks on London's Bridge. A song was wrote. Hope you like 🤣

Lol 🤣😂😆😅
👍👍🤣🤣👍👍
Very cool to see, lock pickers paradise!
😄😆
Wow 😲. That's enough to last a couple of lifetimes of picking! In fact, that's so many that i hope they counter the weight somehow...
The bridge is German engineering, I read that the weight Is not a problem. 😁

Glad you like them! 😁
Thanks for the share 😊 Awesome amount of colours
Thank you! Cheers!

@@Keymaster that's interesting thanks, that was something I was wondering, it dose makes sence though, take care
What an eyesore.
What happened to rings, photos or wearing an article of your beloveds clothing?
yeah been there a couple times ... it is crazy over there ... you just gave me an idea for some new videos as soon as we are free to travel again
That is crazy!
😆😄
Wow that’s truly amazing. Such a cool thing to see. 😎👍
I should take some pictures of interesting locks. Most of the locks are ABUS 72/40 but there are some really strange or old locks there.
Wow, I wish the bridge I live next to had that many! I’d be picking them all day 😁
😆 it's illegal to pick the locks 😉
Keymaster Really? That’s interesting. The bridge where I live, they consider it a favor so they don’t have to hire someone to cut them off! Lol

😄
Wieviel % der Beziehungen sind in die Brüche gegangen? Ich tippe mal auf 92%.
It’s not good to throw the keys into the river. I’m surprised the Germans allow it.
Hhhmmm....I see the lesson here: Build a bridge, get free locks.
😄😁😆😅🤣
German engineering. 😆😅🤣
