The Remagen Bridge Peace Museum is located in the towers of the Ludendorff Bridge on the Remagen side. The museum, which has been awarded five stars, tells the story of the bridge.
The Remagen Bridge was built during the First World War at the insistence of the German generals in order to be able to transport more troops and war material to the Western Front.
The railway bridge was planned by the architect Karl Wiener from Mannheim. It was 325 metres long, its clear height above the normal water level of the Rhine was 14.80 metres and the highest point of the arch was 29.25 metres. The bridge carried two railway tracks and a footbridge.
It was considered one of the most beautiful steel bridges over the Rhine.
