Love locks and love padlocks in Frankfurt, Germany - the Iron Bridge of Eiserner Steg in Frankfurt, Germany. Let's walk along the Eiserner Steg (Franfurt's Iron footbridge, or, Iron bridge) which is a footbridge leading over the river Main in the city of Frankfurt, Germany. Eiserner Steg is known as the Love Lock Footbridge or Padlock Bridge over the Main river in Frankfurt and many locks were put on the bridge by lovers as part of some sort of a promise or a wish of eternal love… The locks are of all different shapes, sizes and colour. And all of them had been engraved with the names of the lovers and the date and it is customary to throw the key away to complete the ritual.
Eiserner Steg connects the centre of Frankfurt with the district of Sachsenhausen. Eiserner Steg was built in the year of 1868. Eiserner Steg is 170 metres long and consists of riveted steel truss with two bridge piers. The bridge was blown up by the Wehrmacht in the final days of World War II, but it has been rebuilt shortly afterwards in the year of 1946. In 1993 it had been fully renovated.
