Remagen Bridge Towers

View of the Remagen Bridge and the Erpeler Ley

Highlight • Historical Site

Ludendorff Bridge - a railway bridge in the city of Remagen (Rhineland-Palatinate), 325 meters long, built during World War I to increase the efficiency of transporting soldiers and war materials to the Western Front. The bridge was designed by Karl Wiener. Its name comes from General Erich Ludendorff.
During World War II, on March 7, 1945, it was captured by the American 9th Armored Division. It was the only intact bridge across the Rhine in Allied hands, and two attempts by the defenders to blow it up ended in failure. The capture of the bridge was called the "Miracle of Remagen". The Germans tried to destroy the bridge using planes and V2 rockets, but without success. On March 17, 1945, the Ludendorff Bridge collapsed due to damage - 30 American soldiers lost their lives.
These events were shown in the 1969 American film "The Bridge At Remagen" directed by John Guillermin.

July 9, 2025,Von Königswinter nach Linzer Brauhaus am Rhein🥰😍🫶

The start of our well-deserved vacation to Königswinter on Monday was very bumpy. 😖 18 km before arrival, Rudi's BMW broke down, and we continued on the ADAC service truck. The car was a mess. ☠️ Luckily, they had a brand-new Kangoo to loan us, so we were able to load the bikes and finally get to the hotel. On …

While dear @Natalie was already walking up to the Drachenfels on shady forest paths before it got too hot, I really wanted to cycle along the beautiful banks of the Rhine because I had liked it so much here recently. In the heat it feels like 500m up, but nice. I liked it best in Remagen. Then transfer to Linz, …
