Government Building sights in Bonn

  1. Plenary Hall

    About 1.5km south of the Altstadt along the B9, Bonn's former government quarter was, from 1949 to 1999, the nerve centre of West German political power. These days the Bundesviertel has reinvented itself as the home of the UN and other international and federal institutions. The airy and modern Plenary Hall where the Bundestag (German parliament) used to convene, now hosts international conferences.

    Altes Rathaus

    In the Altstadt's triangular Markt, the baroque Altes Rathaus stands pretty in pink with silver and gold trim. Politicians from Charles de Gaulle to John F Kennedy have waved to the crowds from its double-sided staircase.
