    At the end of WWII, at the Rapenbrug and the whole region, there was a lot of fighting by the Allies and Germans ... hence also in Adegem (Maldegem) a well-known Canadian cemetery

      Memorial in honor of the making and heroic defense of a bridgehead on October 21 and 22, 1918 by the Belgian carabiniers cyclists called the "Black Devils". The Rapenbrug over the Schipdonk Canal was destroyed in 1918. A second destruction followed during the Second World War. The current bridge is an iron drawbridge, rebuilt in 1947 together with the Celiebrug in Adegem, located further on.
