Lighting of the Hohenzollern Bridge

In 1998, the Hohenzollern Bridge was the first bridge over the Rhine in Cologne to be illuminated. The Cologne Tourist Office, which acted as initiator and sponsor, enlisted the services of Lichthaus Remagen for the technical implementation of the project. Heinrich Remagen developed the concept, which was implemented in the planning department of the house. Countless committees had to be consulted - from the real estate offices of the federal government, the state and the city, to shipping authorities and committees from rail operations, to the airport and aviation authorities. Finally, it was possible to realize this demanding project, for which Philips provided the luminaires. Remagen carried out the complete installation during ongoing rail traffic, including specially developed flanges for mounting the luminaires without damaging the bridge structure. In 2017, new LED luminaires were installed by the city.
