A few historic photos of the upper Pontoon Bridge

A few historic photos from the bridge collapse of March 17, 1945 which killed 28 soldiers on the bridge.

A picture taken in 1940 showing anti-aircraft defenses.

Looking West through the Bridge Towers. There used to be a bridge deck here. :P

The view of Remagen from atop the Erpel Ley.

Remagen was a great little town. We spent two nights there and got rained on for all but maybe 6 hours, including the hour or so we spent on the Erpel Ley. Not much going on in the fall/winter but this would be a great little city to visit in the summer. Kelly and I caught a 'football' scrimmage at the local soccer club one of the nights we where there and had a helluva fine German meal in one of their restaurants. There is a ferry that runs back and forth across the river between Remagen and the Erpel across the river.
