The ruins of the Remagen Bridge mark the site of the Ludendorff Bridge, a crucial but short-lived Allied crossing of the Rhine in 1945. Just across the river, the imposing basalt cliff of the Erpeler Ley served as a strategic German position during the Battle for the bridge. Today, the bridge ruins and the Erpeler Ley are intertwined testimonies to this pivotal moment in World War II, both sites offering perspective on the conflict and promoting peace.
