Lüdendorff Bridge, or often referred as 'Bridge at Remagen' was one of the 3 bridges that were built across the Rhine during WW1. Lüdendorff, along with other 2 (Hindenburg and Urmitz) were reinforced bridges that had its own military personnel. Towers on both ends were occupied by artillery and anti-air crew.

During WW2, Remagen was the turning point of the war. Almost every bridge on Rhine was destroyed by Allies or blown up by Germans during their retreat. Remaining bridges had explosive devices located to pillars or superstructure and they were to be triggered by German officers. Remagen thus, was one of the intact bridges on the river. By disregarding his orders, US Army 9th Division rushed to the bridge and actually managed to capture it intact, because explosives failed to do their job. After its capture, Remagen witnessed the most intense aerial bombardment and operations of the entire European theater, by Germany throwing everything they had in their arsenal; from rockets to bombers, artillery and even underwater assault team to blow up pillars. Remagen outlived them all. 10 days after its capture and despite US efforts to repair the bridge, it had collapsed on its own, on 17th of March 1945. Its capture changed the outcome of the war and presumably shortened the war in Europe by another year, as well as caused the scrapping of any nuclear attack plan against Nazi Germany.
