Map of Remagen

Remagen, town, western central Germany, in Rhineland-Palatinate, on the Rhine River, near Bonn. The town is located near mineral springs from which the well-known Appollinaris water comes. Remagen came to prominence on March 7, 1945, when U.S. Army troops captured the nearby railroad bridge, which no longer exists, and crossed the Rhine for the first time during World War II. Population (1997) 16,171.
