This is beautiful architecture. You should take a closer look at the details of the two tower pieces. Otherwise it was built in 1906 and has two tracks and the pedestrian crossing.

The double-railed railway bridge and pedestrian bridge from 1906. After the destruction in World War II, it was repaired in 1950 and put back into service.

The south bridge was built as a three-part truss arch bridge from 1906 to 1910 by the Royal Prussian State Railway and has two tracks. It was available for freight traffic from April 5, 1910. From this point on, no more freight trains ran on the Dom or Hohenzollern Bridge.
