Love Padlocks<br />
Communicating through symbolism<br />
Over the Rhine River in Cologne, Germany, there is<br />
a bridge carrying a lot more metal than train tracks.<br />
Couples, families, and friends come here to attach their<br />
“love padlocks” to the fence as a symbol of everlasting<br />
love. Similar displays can be found in several other<br />
countries throughout the world.<br />
DID YOU<br />
KNOW?<br />
• A Popular Language. German is the most widely<br />
spoken language in Europe. In addition to the<br />
83 million inhabitants of Germany, people speak<br />
German in many other countries including Austria,<br />
Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein,<br />
where it is also an official language. German is<br />
the third-most popular foreign language taught<br />
worldwide and the second-most popular in Europe<br />
and Japan after English. Era 8, 20th century since<br />
1945<br />
• Invention of the Printing Press. Johannes<br />
Gutenberg, a German blacksmith, invented a<br />
movable press that allowed for mass-printing, and<br />
in 1454 he produced the first printed Bible. The<br />
ability to print books with machines rather than<br />
writing manuscripts by hand was key to spreading<br />
knowledge across Europe during the Renaissance<br />
and beyond. Era 4, 300–1500 CE/AD
