Bonn-Center, Modern skyscraper in Gronau, Bonn, Germany

The Bonn Center featured an 18-story tower reaching 60 meters in height, with a separate five-story wing housing offices and commercial spaces.

Opening in November 1969, the building represented a significant milestone in Bonn's development during its period as the capital of West Germany.

The structure incorporated multiple functions, including a Steigenberger Hotel, conference rooms, embassies, television studios, and the European Parliament Information Office.

Located at the intersection of Federal Highway 9 and Reuterstrasse, the building provided direct access to government facilities and central business districts.

The Mercedes star rotating on its roof became a navigation point until the building's demolition through controlled explosion in March 2017.
