Stadthaus Bonn

The Stadthaus Bonn is an administrative building with five office towers that rise 72 meters high and span 17 floors. The towers rest on a shared base and together form a distinctive cluster at Berliner Platz.

Construction took place between 1973 and 1978 while Bonn served as the provisional capital of West Germany. The completion coincided with a period when the city was expanding its administrative role for the nation.

The five towers shape the city skyline and show the architectural style of the 1970s. They stand at a central location and serve as a landmark for people moving through downtown.

Access to the building is available on weekdays during standard business hours and follows the city's administrative opening times. It is advisable to inquire beforehand if visiting a specific office, as different departments are housed in the separate towers.

An artwork titled Chronos 15 by artist Nicolas Schöffer stands in front of the building and was installed in 1977. The sculpture originally featured moving parts that gave the artwork a dynamic quality.
