Hauptpost, Historic post office and city palace in Bonn, Germany.

The Hauptpost building features high arched windows along its facade and stands prominently at the northwest side of Münsterplatz, facing the Beethoven Monument.

Built between 1751 and 1753 as Fürstenberg Palace, the structure was acquired by the Imperial Post Office in 1876 for 234,000 marks and opened as a post office in 1877.

The palace's balcony hosted King Friedrich Wilhelm IV and Queen Victoria during the first Beethoven Festival in 1845, marking a significant royal presence in Bonn.

The postal facility underwent major renovations between 1997 and 2001, modernizing its interior courtyard while maintaining its heritage status as an architectural monument.

The complex includes a package post office constructed from 1906 to 1908, combining postal services with preserved palatial architecture in North Rhine-Westphalia.
