Apparently this is a relatively new tradition that may have started in Italy. This is the bridge to the cathedral in Cologne. About three years ago, people started putting locks on the bridge. The locks are often engraved with the names of two people - "young loves" - who place the lock on the bridge and then throw the key into the river below. If you look closely enough, you will see a few combination locks. I guess it's good to have a back-up plan!
