Ludendorff-Bruecke in Remagen
Deutschland, Remagen, 20.09.2018
Die Ludendorff-Bruecke, als Bruecke von Remagen bekannt, war eine zweigleisige Eisenbahnbruecke ueber den Rhein zwischen Remagen und Erpel. Sie wurde 1916, im Ersten Weltkrieg, aus militaerischen Gruenden in Auftrag gegeben und am 1. Mai 1918 nach General Erich Ludendorff benannt. In der Schlussphase des Zweiten Weltkriegs war sie der erste alliierte Uebergang ueber den Rhein. Am 17. Maerz 1945 stuerzte sie ein. Sie erlangte durch den 1969 erschienen US-Kriegsfilm Die Bruecke von Remagen besondere Bekanntheit. Heute stehen die Brueckentuerme linksrheinisch am Suedende der Remagener Rhein-Promenade und rechtsrheinisch am suedlichen Ortsrand von Erpel zu Fuße der Erpeler Ley.

Olympic Village - Berlin's forgotten Lost Place

Auf dem Gelaende des Olympischen Dorfes war ueber ein halbes Jahrhundert ein Lost Place, ein vergessener und geheimnisumwitterter Ort. Dabei hat das Olympische Dorf in Elstal, Havelland, eine bewegte Geschichte hinter sich: Vorzeigeprojekt der Nationalsozialisten anlaesslich der XI. Olympischen Sommerspiele 1936 in Berlin, Infanterieschule und Lazarett der Deutschen Wehrmacht während des II. Weltkrieges, Kaserne fuer die Rote Armee der Sowjetunion, Brachflaeche nach dem Fall der Mauer, und heute als denkmalgeschuetztes Baudenkmal beliebtes Besucherziel und gleichzeitig geplantes Investitionsprojekt fuer Luxuswohnungen. Waehrend der Sommerspiele wohnten ca. 4.000 maennliche Athleten aus ueber 50 Nationen im Olympischen Dorf und trainierten in dessen Wettkampfstaetten. Old gate inside the village of the Olympic Games in Elstal near Berlin. From the series Berlin's forgotten Olympic Village. The Olympic Village for the XI. Olympic Games in 1936 was built in Elstal on the edge of Berlin under the murderous Nazi Regime. Today it is an almost forgotten relic of the most infamous Olympic Games in modern history - a Lost Place that has fallen into disrepair and remains mysterious and spooky. Its history is quite remarkable: During the Games itself, in the summer of 1936 as Europe teetered on the brink of war, around 4,000 athletes from 50 nations lived here - including Jesse Owens who won four gold medals. But its architects, Werner and Walter March, had already planed the site's future use: the 'Village' was converted into a military hospital and an infantry training facility during WWII. After the war ended in 1945 and the area became part of the (East-) German Democratic Republic, the Olympic Village was occupied for nearly 50 years by the Red Army of the Soviet Union - until its withdrawal from united German in 1992. From this period, many traces remain as

Today it is an almost forgotten relic of the most infamous Olympic Games in modern history - a Lost Place that has fallen into disrepair and remains mysterious and spooky. Its history is quite remarkable: During the Games itself, in the summer of 1936 as Europe teetered on the brink of war, around 4,000 athletes from 50 nations lived here - including Jesse Owens who won four gold medals. But its architects, Werner and Walter March, had already planed the site's future use: the 'Village' was converted into a military hospital and an infantry training facility during WWII. After the war ended in 1945 and the area became part of the (East-) German Democratic Republic, the Olympic Village was occupied for nearly 50 years by the Red Army of the Soviet Union - until its withdrawal from united German in 1992.
