Stop At: Bundeskanzlerplatz, Adenauerallee 216, 53113 Bonn, Germany

The larger-than-life head of Konrad Adenauer on Bundeskanzlerplatz won an artist competition in the 1980s because of its innovative design. As a photo motif, it invites you to stand next to the statesman "at eye level".

Stop At: Platz der Vereinten Nationen, 53113 Bonn, North Rhine-Westphalia Germany

In the architectural heart of the Bonn Republic is the Bundeshaus, a building complex that contained the former Bundesrat and Bundestag. With the construction of the new plenary hall and the World Conference Center, this campus changed into an international workplace.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Bundesbudchen, Heusallle, Bonn, North Rhine-Westphalia Germany

The former kiosk of Konrad Adenauer, Helmut Kohl, Gerhard Schröder and Joschka Fischer is structurally unchanged and nevertheless in a new location. After the Büdchen had to give way to the Marriott Hotel and be transferred "in one piece" to a Bornheimer forwarding agency, it was allowed to return to the site in its entirety in 2020. The owner won a legal dispute with the city of Bonn and can therefore continue to offer his range of newspapers, sausages and coffee. A fitting final stop for the tour.
