The support of the Rotary Club aims to secure the Peace Museum as an important educational and memorial. This is particularly important at a time when younger generations should increasingly recognize the importance of historical events to promote peace and understanding.

The Friedensmuseum Brücke of Remagen is in a long tradition of peace promotion, which is also shaped by Rotary International. This organization was founded in 1914 and has campaigned for peace from the start. In 1921, the goal of promoting international peace and goodwill was anchored in the constitution of the Rotary movement. During the Second World War, Rotary was actively involved in promoting human rights and increasing consciousness for freedom and justice.

In the years since then, Rotary has continuously tried to create an environment through sustainable and measurable activities in which peace is promoted. Among other things, Rotary Peace Centers were established that support scholarship holders who study at universities in renowned peace programs.

The initiative of the Rotary Club Remagen-Sinzig to contribute to the formation of young people in relation to peace issues is another step in this long history of commitment to peace. With the new EDP station, the Peace Museum will offer an even more valuable resource for future generations to learn the Lessons of History and appreciate the importance of peace.
