Bonn: The often underestimated pearl on the Rhine
Bonn is the former capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, as you most likely know. But do you really know Bonn? Did you know that it is Beethoven's birthplace and that Bonn was founded 2,000 years ago? Visit the city on the Rhine, which is framed by the enchanting mountain landscape of the Siebengebirge. You will be amazed at the wealth of sights, art, culture and beautiful parks it has to offer.
Federal City of Bonn: A mirror of German history
For a business or city trip, our B&B HOTELS offer you a good and affordable place to stay. Bonn, which stretches on both sides of the Rhine, is located south of Cologne. Around 332,000 people live in the city in North Rhine-Westphalia. Bonn was of particular importance in the course of recent German history.
In 1949, it was given preference over Frankfurt in the search for a new capital for the young Federal Republic. In 1990, the Unity Treaty stipulated that Berlin would become the capital of a united Germany, as it had been before the Second World War. As a tribute to its long time as the federal capital, Bonn received the unique title of federal city.
Bonn: Seat of government and carnival stronghold
Although the capital's entourage moved to Berlin in the 1990s, Bonn was not completely released from its role as the seat of government. A number of ministries, authorities and German and international organisations are still represented here. And the international flair has also remained. A cheerful atmosphere pervades the city, making a visit a carefree pleasure. It is particularly attractive in spring, when the numerous planted ornamental cherries bloom.
Bonn cannot completely shake off the attribute of the former capital. But it has successfully achieved a structural change from a political location to a cosmopolitan city. It has acquired a special reputation as a metropolis of sustainability. The student city is young and offers numerous locations to celebrate. In summer, you can enjoy cultural events on open-air stages. Last but not least, Bonn is characterized by the exuberance of the Rhenish carnival.
