history

Antiquity

Early Christian tombstone of a Meteriola found in Remagen

The place Remagen goes back to a Roman fort , which was built a good 2000 years ago (around the year 3 AD), and was named after the originally Celtic name Rigomagos , Latinized Rigomagus (with rīgo- from Kelt. Rīgs = King and celt. Magos = field, level - thus "king field"); Similar terminology also applies to Nijmegen and Neumagen . After 274/275 the fort was expanded into a fortress . The ancient name Rigomagus is mentioned only once by an ancient writer. For the year 356 Ammianus Marcellinus reports that after a German invasion between Koblenz and Cologne, only the Rigomagum oppidum and a tower near Cologne remained undamaged. The Peutinger table , based on a Roman road map , shows Rigomagus between Bonna (Bonn) and Antunnacum ( Andernach ). Early Christians and the existence of a church are recorded for the 5th century. Evidence of early Christian life in Remagen is a tombstone found on Apollinarisberg, which is now kept in the Rheinisches Landesmuseum in Bonn. On it is commemorated a Meteriola, with whom the tomb-maker was married for 23 years and who became his soror in domino (sister in the Lord) more than eight years ago (perhaps baptism is meant).

Three donations to the Lorsch Abbey in Regomago and in regomensi marca between 770 and 773 are considered to be the first mention of Remagen in the Middle Ages. On June 28, 856 Remagen is mentioned in a deed of donation from the Frankish King Lothar II . Around the year 1000 there were several monasteries in Remagen. A church in Remagen is mentioned for 1003; Archbishop Heribert of Cologne handed over all tithe rights in Remagen to Deutz Abbey on April 1, 1003. Around 1065 Remagen is listed among the table goods of the German king.

In the 11th century, a silver coin struck in Remagen reached the Faroe Islands , as the coin find from Sandur shows. Other coins are in treasure finds in the countries around the Baltic Sea. A more detailed processing of the Remagen coins is still pending. Around the year 1110, the built Benedictine of Michaelsberg Abbey of Siegburg on the Martin Mountain (now Apollinarisberg) a provost . In 1122 a nunnery was founded on the island of Nonnenwerth .

In 1164, the Archbishop of Cologne, Reinald von Dassel, is said to have given this provost's relics of St. Apollinaris . The name of St. Apollinaris was then transferred to the mountain and the monastery, which still exists today. However, we only received certain information about the Apollinaris cult from a certificate of indulgence at the end of the 13th century. In 1198 troops of Philip of Swabia burned the place down.

In 1158 and 1189 the legal status of a medieval city was achieved. In 1221 the municipality of Remagen describes itself as civitas libera (free, i.e. not dependent on anyone but the German king) municipality. The city seal, created around 1200, also mentions the status of a free city, the jumping wolf as a symbolic animal was interpreted in relation to St. Remaklus. In 1248 the possessions and rights still belonging to the empire were pledged to the Count of Berg and never redeemed. In 1246 the parish church of St. Peter and Paul was consecrated. A mayor is mentioned for the first time in the sources for 1269, and for 1306 aldermen and councilors. 1357 allowed Emperor Charles IV. The Count of Berg Gerhard I. , Remagen with trench walls, towers, bay windows, gates to fix.

Count Wilhelm II von Berg built the wall and thus came into conflict with the Archbishop of Cologne. In an arbitration award of 1386 it was determined that the walls had to be put down, otherwise the archbishop had the right to have them razed himself. In 1425, Duke Adolf VII von Jülich-Berg pawned half of Remagen (and also of Sinzig) for 5,000 guilders to the Archbishop of Cologne. In 1452, Duke Gerhard von Jülich-Berg pledged the other half to the Archbishop.

The Jewish residents of Remagen were affected by the pogroms of 1298 and 1348/49. For 1398, 1401 and 1409 protection letters with right of residence for Jews are mentioned. In 1424 Jews expelled from Cologne settled in Remagen.

In 1475 Remagen was occupied by Burgundian troops in the course of the Cologne collegiate feud between the Cologne Archbishop Ruprecht von der Pfalz and Hermann IV. Von Hessen , but was shortly afterwards occupied by one of Emperor Friedrich III. commissioned imperial contingent included and by troops under Elector Albrecht III. Achilles captured and plundered by Brandenburg .

Modern times

On May 4, 1554, Duke Wilhelm V of Cleve, Jülich and Berg redeemed one half, and on July 19, 1560 also the other half of Remagen; Until 1794 Remagen remained with the Duchy of Jülich within the Sinzig-Remagen office . In the Jülich-Klevischen succession dispute , Remagen fell to the Catholic Duke Wolfgang Wilhelm von Pfalz-Neuburg .

During the Thirty Years' War , Swedish troops under Field Marshal Baudissin burned the town and church down in 1633 . In 1642 Remagen was taken by the Hessian-Weimar associations; In 1645 the electoral Cologne general Melander put troops into the city. In 1666 almost half of the city's population fell victim to the plague.

At the beginning of October 1794, French revolutionary troops entered the city. Like the entire Left Bank of the Rhine , Remagen was integrated into French territory in 1798 and became the chief town ( chef-lieu ) of the canton of Remagen in the Bonn arrondissement of the Rhine-Moselle department .

As part of the secularization from 1802 , the church property was confiscated and sold; so in 1807 the Apollinarisberg provost's office.

After Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Leipzig in 1814, Remagen was initially under the provisional administration of the Lower Rhine General Government and was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 on the basis of the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna . Under the now Prussian administration was the site office of the mayor Remagen that from 1815 to the district Ahrweiler in Koblenz belonged. From 1822 until the end of World War II , the region was part of the Rhine Province .

The Apollinariskirche was built from 1839 to 1843 and painted by the Düsseldorf Nazarenes until 1852 . The town charter, which had been lost under the French administration, was re-awarded to Remagen on February 2, 1857. In 1858/59 the place was connected to the railway network by the Cologne - Koblenz railway line.

The Remagen synagogue was inaugurated in 1869 . In 1933 there were still 25 Jewish inhabitants (1724: 4 families, 1808: 35 inhabitants, 1863: 64 inhabitants in 14 families, 1895: 31 inhabitants). In November 1938 the synagogue was set on fire.

The Jews who were unable to leave Remagen were deported at the end of April (25th?) And July 1942.

Ludendorff Bridge , bridgehead on the Remagen side (2008)
War graves from the First World War in the old cemetery

During the First World War , a railway bridge between Remagen and Erpel was built over the Rhine between 1916 and 1918 for military reasons . It was named after General Erich Ludendorff . After the completion of the tunnel through the Erpeler Ley, the railway line was opened on September 1, 1919.

On March 7, 1945, the Ludendorff Bridge was captured by US troops . Taking the bridge probably cut the Second World War by weeks. After the Allies took the bridge, Remagen was the only German city to be shot at with the V2 .

West of the Rhine, US assembly camps "prisoners of war temporary enclosures" (PWTE) were then set up for 50,000 German prisoners of war at Rheinberg , Remagen and Bad Kreuznach . These were soon taken; another 14 camps were set up. At the end of April 1945, according to US reports, 169,036 prisoners of war were alone in the PWTE Remagen on the Rhine meadows. This "Golden Mile" prisoner of war camp stretched from Remagen to Niederbreisig. It was disbanded on July 20, 1945.

The Peace Museum was opened in 1980 and the Black Madonna Chapel was built in 1987 . In 1988 the first groundbreaking for the new industrial area "Süd" took place and the south entrance was opened to traffic, in 1994 the north entrance. In 1998 the RheinAhrCampus , a location of the Koblenz University of Applied Sciences, was opened on the site of a former prisoner-of-war camp of the Allies . During the time of Bonn as the seat of government of the Federal Republic of Germany (1949–1999), Remagen was the location of the residence of the French embassy ( Ernich Palace ) as well as temporarily the embassies and diplomatic missions of the Soviet Union ( Rolandswerth ; 1955–1976) and South Korea (1954–1956) ; Haus auf Leims ), the residence of the Japanese embassy ( Oberwinter ; 1952–1961), the embassies of Kazakhstan ( Marienfels Castle and former [until 1992] Landeszentralbank Remagen; 1994–1996) and the Ukraine (Oberwinter; branch office until 2015) , as well as an office of the Chinese embassy (see also the list of diplomatic missions in Bonn ). The French High Commissioner and Ambassador André François-Poncet (1949–1955) had particularly close relationships with the city of Remagen; A city aid fund was created from an amount he had donated.

Reconstruction of the city of Remagen

As part of the Rhineland-Palatinate municipal and administrative reform that began in the second half of the 1960s, the city of Remagen (7,876 inhabitants) and the previously independent municipalities of Oberwinter (3,327 inhabitants), Oedingen (368), Rolandswerth ( 923) and Unkelbach (853) were dissolved and today's city of Remagen was rebuilt from them. Kripp was a district of Remagen before that.

In the runoff election on March 18, 2018, he was elected mayor for eight years with 62.03% of the vote, after none of the original five applicants had achieved a sufficient majority in the direct election on March 4, 2018. Ingendahl is the successor to Herbert Georgi (CDU), who did not run again after 16 years in office.

Coat of arms, banner and flag

The city of Remagen has a coat of arms and a flag.

Coat of arms of the city of Remagen
 Blazon : “In red, a crenellated silver double arch supported by a silver column, above three silver towers, the middle one with a green dome between two angular silver crenellated towers; in front of the column a left-wing leaping (coat of arms is always described from behind), crowned (heraldic) golden wolf. "
Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms is derived from the “Great City Seal” from 1221. The meaning of the Remagen seal is partly unclear. The battlements and towers indicate city rights. Remagen was considered a free city , but was not fortified until 1357. The meaning of the crowned wolf is not clear.

Description of the hoisted flag: "The flag of the city of Remagen is red-white-red in a ratio of 1: 2: 1 with horizontal stripes with the coat of arms in the middle."

Description of the banner: "The banner of the city of Remagen is red-white-red in a ratio of 1: 2: 1, striped lengthways with the coat of arms above the center."

Town twinning

Remagen maintains partnerships with the Lower Saxony city of Georgsmarienhütte and, since 1981, with the French city of Maisons-Laffitte in Île-de-France .

Catholic parish church of St. Peter and Paul

A Christian community in Remagen probably already existed in Roman times. The earliest evidence is the epitaph of Meteriola from the 5th century and two fragments of barrier plates with Christogram decorations, which are kept in the Remagen Museum and the Rheinisches Landesmuseum Bonn . The parish church of St. Peter and Paul , equipped with the patronage of the princes of the apostles pointing to Rome, is located in the northwest corner of the former Roman fort. Remains of this complex have been preserved in the church fortifications. A church in Remagen is definitely documented for the year 1003, when Archbishop Heribert of Cologne gave the Deutz Abbey tithe rights in Remagen. From that point on, the Remagen pastors were always members of the Deutz convent until the French Revolution . In 1495 the parish was incorporated into the monastery. The oldest surviving part of the church is the choir , consecrated in 1246 . A plaque on the outside of the choir provides information about this consecration and the client, Pastor Richard. This is one of the very rare construction dates of the time. The central nave of the old church probably also dates largely from this period. In the early 16th century, the choir was vaulted with the rich late Gothic reticulated vault. The vault of the nave is a renovation from the time the church was rebuilt around 1900, but it rests on the old beginners.

The bell tower, the shape of which is reminiscent of the towers of the Deutz Abbey Church, was built after the destruction of the Thirty Years' War . The tower vault was completed in 1674. From 1900 to 1904, an extension was built for the growing community in the form of the Rhenish late Romanesque according to plans by the Düsseldorf architect CC Pickel. The old church remained as a vestibule after the side aisles were demolished. During the restoration in the 1980s, the old building was set up again as a separate church service room.

Of the furnishings, the late Romanesque altar, the current celebration altar in the new building, the late Gothic burial group in the vestibule (former sacristy ), the sacraments and the frescoes in the old church, as well as the Gothic Pietà deserve attention. The surviving parts of the Neo-Romanesque furnishings, which were also made according to Pickel's plans , must also be emphasized.

Lady Chapel "In der Lee"

The name refers to the corridor "in der Lee", derived from Middle High German "lê" Hügel, burial mound. In this corridor was a late Roman burial ground where the tombstone of Christian Meteriola from the 5th century was discovered.

The connection between the chapel and the Remagen Hospital St. Maria Magdalena, which is assumed in the literature, does not exist. The Magdalenenkapelle was today's Roman Museum, wrongly called the Knechtstedener Kapelle. Today's neo-Gothic building was created after 1850 as a foundation by J. Schäfer. He bequeathed the chapel and the house behind it to the parish of Remagen to set up a hospital. But because the rooms were too cramped, the plan was not implemented. Stylistic peculiarities suggest a connection between the building and the work of the Koblenz architect Nebel. There are no documents on this. The cross from 1737 in front of the chapel was probably originally in this place.

In recent years the chapel has been restored through a private initiative with the participation of the Catholic community and city, but above all local craftsmen and beautification associations.
