Remagen Bridge, Peace museum in former railway bridge towers in Remagen, Germany.
The Peace Museum is housed in the two remaining western towers of the Ludendorff Bridge and displays artifacts, documents, and photographs from World War II. The spaces tell the story of the strategy, progress, and consequences of the bridge fighting in 1945.
The original Ludendorff Bridge was built between 1916 and 1919 and served millions of people crossing the Rhine. On March 17, 1945, the bridge collapsed into the river after Allied troops had captured it.
The exhibits display uniforms, weapons, and personal items from soldiers that convey the human side of war. Visitors can read letters and diaries showing how people experienced this historical moment.
The museum is located near Remagen train station and is easy to reach on foot. The best time to visit is from March through October, when the exhibits are fully open to the public.
The switches that were meant to trigger the bridge's demolition failed to work properly, allowing the museum to display a rare example of wartime engineering. This failed destruction changed the course of military operations.
