Summary from Deutsch / German Wikipedia (dewiki)

Die Ludendorff-Brücke, als Brücke von Remagen bekannt, war eine zweigleisige Eisenbahnbrücke über den Rhein zwischen Remagen und Erpel. Sie wurde 1916, im Ersten Weltkrieg, aus militärischen Gründen in Auftrag gegeben und am 1. Mai 1918 nach General Erich Ludendorff benannt. Am 15. August 1918 fand die Einweihung statt. Wegen Schwierigkeiten beim Bau des Tunnels durch die Erpeler Ley und des Einschnitts in Erpel konnten die Schienen erst Mitte 1919 verlegt werden. Die Eisenbahndirektion Köln übernahm die Brücke am 23. Juli 1919, die Betriebseröffnung einschließlich der Zuführungsstrecken folgte am 1. September 1919. Die Brücke war das letzte große Bauprojekt der Preußischen Staatseisenbahnen.

Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Ludendorff Bridge (sometimes referred to as the Bridge at Remagen) was a bridge across the river Rhine in Germany which was captured by United States Army forces in early March 1945 during the Battle of Remagen, in the closing weeks of World War II, when it was one of the few remaining bridges in the region and therefore a critical strategic point. Built during World War I to help deliver reinforcements and supplies to German troops on the Western Front, it connected Remagen on the west bank and the village of Erpel on the east bank between two hills flanking the river.

Summary from Nederlands / Dutch Wikipedia (nlwiki)

Summary from Català / Catalan Wikipedia (cawiki)

El Pont de Remagen és un pont sobre el Rin a Remagen (Alemanya), al sud de Bonn. Va ser construït durant la Primera Guerra Mundial a instàncies dels comandaments militars alemanys per tal de fer arribar tropes i material de guerra al front. Anys endavant, a finals de la Segona Guerra Mundial, la Novena Divisó Cuirassada de l'exèrcit americà va aconseguir apoderar-se del pont el 7 de març de 1945, després d'una aferrissada batalla. Les tropes alemanyes havien intentat demolir el pont dues vegades, però fracassaren. Com a represàlia, Hitler feu afusellar quatre dels seus oficials (els comandants Hans Scheller, Herbert Strobel i August Kraft així com el tinent Karl-Heinz Peters; un cinquè oficial, el capità Willi Bratge també fou condemnat a mort en absència, ja que els soldats nord-amereicans l'havien fet presoner) i continuaren els intents de fer volar el pont. La seva captura per part de les tropes americanes fou coneguda com "el Miracle de Remagen". Tanmateix, el 17 de març de 1945, el pont es va ensorrar i 28 soldats nord-americans hi perderen la vida.
