Possibly, but maybe there are still some ex wermacht members who have a
certain amount of pride in their unit/exploits, etc, and wanted to remember
his fallen kameraden!!?

being no expert at all, i would say after reading a little of the
history
about the bridge, they built it to get arms and equipment across to the
west
quickly, either during or before the first war and after its demolition
and
the war, it probably wasnt needed anymore, but i think also there may be
a
little national humiliation involved!

If it was a matter of national humiliation they would scarcely
have built a museum there. Its simply no longer required.
