Venusberg, Residential district in Bonn, Germany
Venusberg is a district on a high plateau west of the Rhine River, characterized by pine forests and medical facilities spread across the area. It combines residential neighborhoods with research institutes and a university hospital campus.
The area functioned as a military barracks complex until 1945, when it was transformed into the University Hospital of Bonn and research centers. This conversion shaped its development and role in the city.
The two churches in the district—the Evangelical Resurrection Church and the Catholic Holy Spirit Church—reflect the religious diversity of residents. They shape the local landscape and serve as gathering places for the community.
The district is accessible by public transportation and features walking paths through wooded areas. Both the medical campus and nearby residential neighborhoods can be explored on foot.
The name comes from 'Venn,' meaning high bog, reflecting the area's original landscape rather than the Roman goddess Venus. This origin surprises many visitors who assume a different meaning.
