Remagen, on the river Rhine, was famous for the bridge built here during World War I to give troops easy access across the river. It was a railway bridge which spanned a 325 metre gap, and was considered one of the finest steel bridges in Germany. The Allies captured the bridge in 1945, much to the annoyance of Hitler, who tried to have it destroyed. It collapsed shortly after. All that remains today are the large towers at each end. This museum tells the story of the bridge, with lots of archive footage and photos. It is open between March and October, with a small admission fee.
