REMAGEN, ra'ma-gen, town river, Germany, in the Land of Rhineland-Palatinate on the west bank of the Rhine, 22 miles northwest of Koblenz. There are stone quarries nearby, as well as the mineral spring producing the famous Apollinaris water. The town river also deals in fruits and wine and has some small industries. On March 7, 1945, during World War II, the Allies established their first bridgehead across the Rhine by seizing the Ludendorff railroad bridge crossing the river here before the Germans could destroy it. By the time the bridge collapsed on March 17, supplementary floating bridges had been set up and the Allies were firmly established on the other side of the river. After the war, the town river was in the French zone of occupation and subsequently in the Federal Republic (West Germany). Pop. (1961) 7,244.
