Landesbehördenhaus, Administrative building in Gronau district, Bonn, Germany.
The Landesbehördenhaus is a six-story administrative building in the Gronau district designed by architect Ernst van Dorp and built between 1970 and 1974. It brought multiple government offices together under one roof with a modern exterior that defines the neighborhood's character.
The building was constructed while Bonn served as the capital of West Germany and housed the Bonn Police Headquarters and State Construction Office among other agencies. It remained an important administrative center even after the capital relocated elsewhere.
The building embodies 1970s design principles with clean lines and spaces organized purely for administrative work. This approach to government buildings shaped how Bonn's official districts look and function.
The building sits at Friedrich-Ebert-Allee 144 and is easily accessible by public transportation. The area has plenty of space to walk around and clear sightlines thanks to its orderly street layout.
The site is undergoing a major transformation into a new urban district with residential spaces, schools, and two distinctive towers. This project demonstrates how former administrative areas are being reimagined for contemporary city life.
