REMAGEN
- GERMANY
Remagen is a city in Germany in the
Bundesland of Rhineland-Palatinate in the south of Bonn at the Rhine river.
Remagen became famous for its Ludendorff Bridge that was captured by Allied
forces on 7 March 1945 by the 9th tank division. Although the bridge
collapsed a few days later, the allies were able to build a bridgehead on
the eastern bank of the Rhine, which led to a faster defeat of Germany.
