Bonn is a pretty university town in the West of Germany. Originally founded by the Romans as a depot for their Agrippan Legion (Castra Bonnensis) Bonn is slightly younger than nearby Cologne, which later became the capital of roman Germany. Like in Cologne, christianisation arrived early in the region, and it is not without logic that the archbishops of Cologne chose Bonn as their residence after falling out with the strong farmer and burgher lobby (Battle of Worringen) in 1288. The residence, which was rebuilt a number of times during the Middle Ages today houses the Rheinische Friedrich Wilhem University, which counts some 24 000 students from all over the world.

A major portion of the student body can usually be found in the famous Hofgarten park, a nice soft patch of lawn ideally suited for sunbathing, napping, ball-games and studying.

Bonn also was a customs station on the Rhine river before the formation of the 1871 German Imperial Reich and the wealth of its citizens is reflected in the many historical buildings throughout the town. Having been largely destroyed during the war, Bonn was chosen to be the 'provisional' capital of West Germany in 1949.

Bonn: old Town Hall

Bonn: old Town Hall

Keith Penton
Charming, small and modern, Bonn is a great place to spend a few days. Since the 19th century, it has been the university that has established Bonn's international reputation. Its main building is the former electoral palace, whiches stretches along the southern boundary of the pedestrianised town centre. A 1-km-long baroque avenue, the Poppelsdorfer Allee, connects the university main building with the Poppelsdorf palace, which houses the mineralogy department and museum and is surrounded by the Botanical Garden. The garden front of the main building overlooks the Hofgarten park with the Akademisches Kunstmuseum (Academic Art Museum, built in 1825 as anatomic theatre) and its river-front extension, the Stadtgarten and Alter Zoll, a remnant of the old fortifications with a great view of the river and the Siebengebirge (Seven Hills) at the southeastern outskirts of the city. The main road to the south (to the federal district, Bad Godesberg and ultimately Koblenz; federal highway no. 9) passes through the university building by way of an ornate gate house, the Koblenzer Tor.

Whereas the river front of the city centre has been completely transformed after World War II with the construction of the modernist Opera House and a new access road to the Rhine bridge, most of the old town centre has preserved its mediaeval street plan, now almost completely pedestrianised. This is the main shopping area with a lively daily (except Sundays) fruit and vegetable market in the market square (Markt). The baroque Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall) forms the southeastern end of the market square. Next to it you find "Em Höttche", one of Bonn's most traditional restaurants (going back to 1389). Six streets radiate out from the Markt. Brüdergasse leads you to the Gothic Minorite Church St. Remigius (beautiful, intricate tracery in the apse), where the young Beethoven practised on the organ, Bonngasse to the mainly baroque Jesuit Church (Namen-Jesu-Kirche, now Roman-Catholic university church), the Beethoven House and the chamber music hall. The two main shopping streets are Sternstraße (the name is a corruption of Pisternenstraße, from the Latin for "street of the bakers") and Remigiusstraße, which leads to the second main square, the Münsterplatz. The square is dominated by the Romanesque Münster basilica, Bonn's premier landmark. Around the corner (Am Hof 32-34), you find hidden behind a 19th-century facade a 12th-century private chapel, the Helenakapelle, a gem that even few Bonners know. On the opposite side of the square stands the Beethoven statue, erected in 1845 for the first Beethoven festival (now an annual event in Bonn). It turns its back to the former "Fürstenberg'sches Palais" (the main post office), where the guests of honor for the unveiling ceremony were assembled on the balcony, among them Queen Victoria and the Prussian king. Alexander von Humboldt is said to have saved the day when he remarked that Beethoven had always been a rude fellow. unveiling ceremony were assembled on the balcony, among them Queen Victoria and the Prussian king. Alexander von Humboldt is said to have saved the day when he remarked that Beethoven had always been a rude fellow. Vivatgasse (the apparently Latin "Vivat" actually derives from Viehpfad, "cattle path"; too humble a name for a prosperous university town, it seems) leads to the Sterntor, a reconstruction of one of the city gates (originally located at the end of Sternstraße) and a remnant of the 14th century city wall. In the Alter Friedhof (Old Cemetery), just outside the historic centre between the 1970s high-rise City Hall (Stadthaus) and the railway line, many prominent Bonners were laid to rest, among them Beethoven's mother, Robert and Clara Schumann, the astronomer Friedrich Argelander and the romanticist August Wilhelm von Schlegel.

In the late 19th century, Bonn expanded and the residential districts of Weststadt and Südstadt were developed. The elegant upper-middle-class quarters of the Südstadt have largely survived World War II and post-war redevelopment (between Poppelsdorfer Allee, Adenauer Allee and Reuterstraße). The university's science departments expanded during that period in the Weststadt (mainly Nußallee and Meckenheimer Allee).

It then actually was the capital of the German Federal Republic for just over 50 years, until 1999, or ten years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and Iron Curtain in 1989.

Bonn itself always was a rather small town, but by incorporating a number of villages along the Rhine it grew into a city of more than 250 000 inhabitants and still retained a somewhat laid back village-like atmosphere. Most of her sights can be covered on foot, indeed the entire inner city is a pedestrian zone.

A number of very interesting museums can be found in Bonn, including the Rheinische Landesmuseum (displaying the original famous 'NEANDERTHALER' scull), the Museum Koenig with its vast collection of stuffed animals and dinosaur skeletons, the German Art Museum and also the German Modern History Museum.

Bonn is also the birthplace of Ludwig van Beethoven and this classic musican and composer is omnipresent. Don't forget to see his house of birth on Bonngasse. Another famous composer couple that lived here is Robert and Clara Schumann.

The Bonners are very laid-back people who enjoy fine arts, history and of course a nice sip of K?lsch beer. The best spot to do so is at the Alter Zoll ('old toll station') beergarden, near the university, just above the Rhine. Here you can enjoy your Beer with good food while gazing at the Siebengebirge and chatting with locals and visitors.

The Siebengebirge (the famous 'Seven Hills' of the Grimm fairy tale Snowwhite and the Seven Dwarves', who actually worked in the mine shafts that are still there) are of volcanic origin and provide a picturesque backdrop for the high-rising, ultramodern Post-Tower on the brink of the Rheinauen (see below). Two of the mountain tops border on the edge of the eastern bank of the Rhine river and are famous for their spectacular views over Bonn, the Eifel region and the Rhineland: The Drachenfels on the southern end of the Siebengebirge is the monumental sign-post for a romantic Rhine valley voyage. Be sure to ride a donkey, horse drawn carriage or the old cog railway up to the Drachenfels ruins, the most-visited tourist spot in Germany. On the neighboring Petersberg summit the former seat of the Allied Occupation Commission, then Guesthouse of the Federal Government - now a 5-star hotel - served as a temporary and very comfortable home for honored international guests. Enjoy a lazy afternoon on its sunswept terrace with coffe and cake, local beer or wine, like many German daytrippers from the Rhine-Ruhr area do.

About 30 minutes south of Bonn in the city of Rh?ndorf (take tram U 66 to Bad Honnef), you can visit the Konrad-Adenauer-Haus and see where the first German Federal Chancellor (or Prime Minister) resided during the times of the "Bonner Republik" and before and during WW2 when he was Lord Mayor of Cologne, when not imprisoned by the Nazis.

Take the car or passenger ferry to Bad Godesberg, a mostly residential suburb of Bonn with many old mansions built by the tycoons of the Rhine/Ruhr industrial region Hike up to the Godesburg, yet another prominent medieval watchtower over the Rhine valley. It's just a brisk walk from the river, but the excellent public tranport (bus or DB railway from Mehlem) makes it easier. Take a relaxing mineral water bath in the Kurf?rsten-Bad (Archduke's Spa) for only 3.50 euro incl all you can drink mineral waters (students with ID 50% off, clothing optional every 2nd Sunday of the month).

If time permits, go and visit the Rheinauen (Rhine meadows). They are Bonn's very own "Central Park" with several gardens, fountains, and cafes. It is also the venue for many festivals.

Bonn is a city with an absurdly high quality of living. In spite of its clean and tidy smallness and its dreamy air of the Wilhelminian style, it has all the benefits of a modern, vibrant metropolitan city: Excellent infrastructure, traffic connectivity and public transport with a wonderful Old Town for everything from everyday to extravagant shopping and a truly comprehensive cultural offering.

______History
Edit This
According to archaeological evidence, Bonn began as a settlement of the local Germanic tribe (the Ubians) about 30 BC. The name "Bonna" is first mentioned by the Roman writer Florus as the place for a military bridge across the Rhine between 13 and 9 BC. After the failed attempt by the Romans to conquer the land between Rhine and Elbe, Bonn became one of the legionary fortresses ("castra Bonnensia") along the frontier of the province Germania Inferior, the remainders of which have been found in the north of the modern city.

Legend has it that to Christian Roman soldiers, Cassius and Florentius were martyred in Bonn. A church was founded over their supposed graves, which eventually grew into the Münster (Bonn Minster), the nucleus of the mediaeval town. At first, the Frakish "Bonnburg" inside the former Roman castle and the "villa basilika" around the martyrs' church developed side by side, until the Normans devastated the land in the ninth century and the Bonnburg was abandoned. The "villa Basilika" was fortified and a market town sprung up outside the gates on the river front.

Archbishop Konrad von Hochstaden, who quarreled with the patricians of Cologne, the cathedral city, ordered Bonn to build a wall around the entire settled area in 1244 and granted it a town charter. In the following three centuries, the archbishop, who was as prince-elector the secular ruler of his territories outside the free imperial city of Cologne, moved his court gradually to Bonn. From 1597 Bonn was officially capital and residence for the electorate of Cologne.

Two attempts to introduce Luther's reformation under archbishops Hermann von Wied (1515-1547) and Gebhard Truchseß von Walburg (1583) in Bonn failed. As a result of the "Truchseß Wars", for the next two centuries, the prince-archbishops came from the House of Wittelsbach (the ruling dynasty in Bavaria).

Bonn survived the Thirty Years War intact, but was almost completely destroyed in 1689 during the War of the League of Augsburg. Habsburg's imperial troups defeated the pro-French Egon von Fürstenberg and imposed their candidate for archbishop, Joseph Clemens von Bayern. Josef Clemens started building the great baroque residence, a work that was taken up by his famous successor Clemens August. Under the popular Clemens August, baroque Bonn reached its peak in a time of peace and prosperity. The Electoral Palace and Poppelsdorf Palace were completed and joined by a grand avenue, today's Poppelsdorfer Allee; the Koblenzer Tor and the Hofgarten park were added. Balthasar Neumann, architect of the residence in Würzburg, built the Heilige Stiege (inspired by the Scala Santa in Rome) on the Kreuzberg. In the market square, a new city hall (today known as Altes Rathaus) was erected. A plan to link the residence in Bonn with the Augustusburg palace in Brühl near Cologne with another long avenue finally overstrained the state's finances and was soon abandoned. With the death of Clemens August came the Wittelsbach era in 1761 to an end.

The last elector, Max Franz von Habsburg, brought the spirit of the Enlightenment to Bonn. He founded the first university and transformed the southern suburb of Godesberg into a fashionable spa town. The young Beethoven gave his first performances in the Redoute, a Godesberg dance and concert hall. With the occupation of the left side of the Rhine by revolutionary armies in 1794 Bonn comes under French rule until 1814. The city lost its fledgling university and all government functions, the church was stripped of its powers and vast property holdings, the monasteries were dissolved, but its citizens gained legal equality and economic freedom through the "Code Napoléon".

The Congress of Vienna awarded the (unenthusiastic) Rhineland to Prussia in 1815. The citizens of Bonn were somewhat placated when the Prussian king founded the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität. The new university soon attracted famous professors like Arndt, Niebuhr, Argelander and Schlegel. Heinrich Heine and Karl Marx were students here. Seven professors from Bonn were sent to the first democratic German parliament at the Paulskirche in Frankfurt during the Revolution of 1848. The Industrialisation passed Bonn by, but the Kulturkampf, the struggle between the (Protestant) Prussian state and the Catholic church vehemently engaged the mostly Catholic citizenry throughout the 19th century. Bonn again became a prosperous city where many rich industrialists took up residence.

From 1904 the city grew by incorporating the surrounding towns and villages. German defeat in World War I and the Treaty of Versailles brought Bonn another period of occupation, first by Anglo-Canadian troups and from 1920 to 1926 by French troups. The era was marked by hyperinflation and political unrest: resistance against the occupation in the Ruhrkampf on the one hand and separatist attempts to unite the occupied Rhineland with France on the other.

Nationalistic tendencies became more pronounced after the occupying forces left and the entry of German troups into the demilitarised Rhineland (1936) in breach of the Versailles Treaty enhanced the standing of the Nazi government. Minorities, especially the Jewish community, and political adversaries are persecuted by the Nazi state in Bonn as in the rest of Germany. In the Reichskristallnacht (1938) the synagogues in Bonn, Poppelsdorf, Beuel, Bad Godesberg and Mehlem were burnt to the ground. In 1942, the over 400 Jewish citizens still remaining in Bonn were deported to the concentration camps, only seven survived. Much of Bonn's inner city was destroyed by aerial bombing during World War II. At the end of the war in 1945, Bonn became part of the British zone of occupation and in 1946 of the newly created state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The still intact Pädagogische Hochschule (teachers academy) houses in 1948 the constitutional convention (Parlamentarischer Rat) for the new federal republic that succeeded the three western zones of occupation in 1949. Bonn became provisional capital of West Germany and the former teachers academy the seat of the two houses of the federal parliament (Bundeshaus), not the least due the advocacy of the first Chancellor, Konrad Adenauer, a citizen of Cologne and resident of Rhöndorf, a suburb southeast of Bonn.

After German unification in 1990, parliament decided that Berlin should again be the German capital and seat of government while Bonn retains some government functions as Bundesstadt. The move to the new capital is mostly completed in 1999.

___________-Getting Around
Edit This
x
The city of Bonn comprises three formerly independent towns (Bonn proper, Bad Godesberg and Beuel), numerous villages and large open spaces (the Kottenforst and Ennert forests in the hills on both banks of the Rhine, the Siegaue meadows at confluence of Sieg and Rhein, the Rheinaue park). The historic centres are compact, pedestrianised, and therefore best explored on foot.

All parts of the city are well served by public transport, consisting of several lines of underground and surface light railway and an extensive network of bus lines. It is organised in a regional transport authority (VRS) that also includes Cologne and the surrounding rural counties. The VRS website contains timetable and fare information, but only its dodgy Java-script timetable is available in English. A more useful on-line timetable information is provided by the Cologne transport authority KVB, but only in German.

The main radio taxi service Bonner Funk-Taxi Zentrale can be reached under the phone number +49-228-555555. The basic fare is DM 3.40 plus DM 4.30 for the first km, DM 1.90/km for the next 5 km and DM 2.20/km for more than 7 km. There are taxi ranks at the main railway stations and many other places in the city.

Scheduled boat trips on the Rhine are provided by Bonner Personen Schiffahrt. Köln-Düsseldorfer offers river cruises.

_________Getting There
Edit This
Bonn has good rail connections to major cities in Germany and Europe. Three international airports are within easy reach:

Köln/Bonn (CGN), 12 mi/20 km north, local bus service (30 min)

Düsseldorf (DUS), 45 mi/70 km north, mainline rail service to Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof, connecting with suburban rail service to the airport (1 h 10 min)

Frankfurt (FRA), 90 mi/150 km southeast, direct mainline rail service (1 h 40 min)

For rail service inquiries visit German Railways TravelService.

__________Museums
Edit This
Bonn boasts a large number of museums covering a divers range of subjects from history and archaeology to arts and sciences to politics.

The long history and prehistory of Bonn and the Rhineland, beginning with the original Neanderthal man, is documented in the Rheinisches Landesmuseum.

The constitutional convention for the future Federal Republic of Germany met in the zoological Museum Alexander König with the stuffed animals staring down on the assembled politicians in 1948. A museum building boom in the 1980's added three big institutions in the former Regierungsviertel (government district) along the main road from the city centre to Bad Godesberg; these are somewhat arbitrarily grouped together with the historic Museum König in the Museumsmeile (museums' mile).

Many famous people lived at least for a period in Bonn. The homes of some of them (Ludwig van Beethoven, Robert Schumann, Ernst Moritz Arndt, August Macke, and, in Rhöndorf just south of Bonn, Konrad Adenauer) can be visited.
