"Castles of Love in front of Castle of Romance"
As you can see in the photo, many hundreds of hearts have been found in Heidelberg. To commemorate their promise, couples have locked themselves forever to a designated spot on the opposite side of the castle and the Neckar River. The locks are engraved with personal initials – while the keys are kept by the respective couples.
Some, however, throw the keys into the river to declare their eternal loyalty and make it irreversible. That way, no one can break their promise. At least not by removing the symbol from the chain.

Further down, for those who want to know more about the story...Wer kennt nicht das Lied: Ich hab`mein Herz in Heidelberg verloren...?
Wie man auf dem Foto sieht sind viele hundert Herzen in Heidelberg gefunden worden. Zur Erinnerung ihres Versprechens haben sich die Paare für immer an einen dafür vorgesehen Ort auf der gegenüber liegenden Seite von Schloss und Neckar angekettet. Die Schlösser sind mit persönlichen Initialen versehen – wobei die Schlüssel von den jeweiligen Paaren mitgenommen werden.
Manche werfen allerdings die Schlüssel auch in den Fluss, um ihre ewige Treue zu bekunden und unumkehrbar zu machen. So kann keiner sein Versprechen ändern. Zumindest nicht durch eine Entfernung des damaligen Symbols an der Kette.
