Love Lock

 A "love lock" with an inscribed locket

It was first seen on a roadside grill at Corniche Point in Luxembourg. Thousands of locks are locked to the iron fence along the roadside. Names are written on the locks. It was later seen on the Adolphe Bridge and in Cologne, Germany. The grille of the Pointe-à-Pitre in Paris was filled with millions of locks over time. They had to cut some of the locks out of fear that the bridge would collapse due to the excessive weight of the locks. .

This is a symbolic romantic lock that lovers use to strengthen their relationship. They write their names on the locket and throw the key into the river or the nearest body of water. They believe that with it they will never be separated. Husbands and wives also do this.  They believe that this love lock will never break. Today, this love lock can be seen all over Europe.

There is a story about how this custom started. This story first took place in Hungary. When a woman's lover went to World War I, she locked the grill of that romantic bridge that was always a truce. They wrote their names on it. They tied their never-ending relationship around their waists and threw the key into the river. They continued to wait at that bridge every day.

It became a custom and belief to strengthen the bond of love, and thus spread throughout Europe.
