Today we got at Big Corp an e-mail, that pandemic is over and no measures are needed anymore. I think next step will be back to the office. Remote jobs will slowly disappear. I am very confident, that on-site applicants today are preferred over remote candidates.

What you say is not remote jobs, it’s working remotely for an office-based company. I don’t know if that will disappear completely but from what you say that seems to be the case.

But remote jobs for remote companies have always been a thing (been doing that on and off for 20 years, continuously for 14) and I don’t see them going away. If anything, hiring just got a little less difficult know that the pool of people who can and like working from home grew a bit.

Maybe some industries (or countries) but it's very much here to stay in Europe in the agency/consultancy/non-FAANG tech market. In my most recent job search, "fully on prem" technology rules were quite rare.
Edit: remote jobs will not disappear. Rather get back to pre-pandemic level.
