Bonn is a federal city located in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Its history dates back to the century BC, making Bonn one of Germany’s oldest cities. A transition in history, it was the capital of the Electorate of Cologne, but it was not least in the decades after World War II that Bonn entered the history books. In the years 1949-1990, the city was the capital of West Germany.
Today, Bonn remains the seat of a number of federal institutions and ministries, and the city is also home to Villa Hammerschmidt, which serves as the German president’s second residence and office after Schloss Bellevue in Berlin. In Bonn, you can also visit the Bundesviertel district, which was the center of political West Germany. You can e.g. see the Bundeshaus, where the sessions of the Bundestag parliament took place.
In the Bundesviertel you will find the so-called Museumsmeile, where several interesting museums are located. At Haus der Geschichte Bonn, the history after 1945 is told, and close to this are the Kunstmuseum Bonn and the Bundeskunsthalle, both great art museums. On the Museumsmeile you will also find the Deutsches Museum Bonn about science and the Museum Koenig exploring natural history. In the city, you can also visit the Beethoven-Haus, which is set up in Beethoven’s birthplace.
Bonn’s old town with narrow streets and small squares is also very cozy. The two central squares are Markt and Münsterplatz, and all around the streets there is a lot to see. On Münsterplatz is the Bonner Münster, which is one of Germany’s oldest churches, and you can also see the church of St. Remigius, where Ludwig van Beethoven was baptized, and Bonn’s great castle, where the Electors of Cologne had their residence. Today, the castle houses the city’s university.
Koblenz is a city located in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate at the point where the river Mosel flows into the Rhine. The city’s history goes back to the years before the birth of Christ, when the Romans founded a military settlement in the strategically good place. Koblenz’s name comes from the Latin name confluentes, meaning confluence, which alludes to the two great rivers.
The most famous place in Koblenz is the Deutsches Eck, which is the place where the Mosel flows into the Rhine. Deutsches Eck is a large square where you can go all the way to the rivers and enjoy the beautiful scenery that is here. In the square you can see Koblenz’s famous equestrian statue of Emperor Wilhelm I. The statue was erected in 1897 as a monument to the emperor’s role in the German unification in 1871.
When you say Cologne, most people think of the majestic cathedral, which is one of the world’s largest churches, and which since the foundation of the church has been a pilgrimage church because of the relics of the Biblical Magi. The church continues to throne over the city as one of both Germany and Europe’s major buildings, and a visit to the church is worth the whole trip to Cologne.
Cologne has so much else to offer besides the cathedral. With the status of Roman colony, there was an early city here, and relics from that time are still to be seen in many places in the city and in museums. Today the Roman monuments blend with Cologne’s numerous large churches, mainly dating to the Romanesque period, the medieval city gates, cozy squares and modern Cologne.
Aachen is Germany’s westernmost big city, and it is located in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The city was founded by the Romans, and it quickly developed into a politically important city. Charlemagne of the Frankish Empire chose Aachen as his city of residence, and subsequently 31 German-Roman emperors were crowned in the city’s cathedral as Germanic kings. Today, Aachen is located on the border between Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, and it has sights on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
In the center of the city you can see Aachener Dom, which is one of the oldest cathedrals in Europe. It was Charlemagne who founded the great church in which he himself was buried in 814. In the cathedral you can enjoy a particularly beautiful interior that dates back to the time of Charlemagne. The center of the construction is Oktogon, which was built 795-803, and where today, among other things, you can see Charlemagne’s marble throne, which was subsequently used by many German kings.
