Platanenweg 29, High-rise building in Beuel, Bonn, Germany
Platanenweg 29 is an 18-storey high-rise in Beuel, Bonn, built from 1972 to 1973 as the seat of the Bundeswehr Medical Office and converted from 2018 to 2020 into 237 small apartments of 17.4 to 19 m². The former brown facade was replaced by a lighter cladding, and shops and meeting rooms occupy the base storey.
The building opened in 1972 as the headquarters for the Medical Office of the Federal Armed Forces. The organization relocated in 2002, leaving the structure vacant until major renovation work began.
The building's name comes simply from its address at Platanenweg 29. It stands among a cluster of office towers in Beuel that housed federal ministries during the Bonn Republic, including two 13-storey blocks used by the Federal Ministry of the Interior's procurement office. Since 2020 the former offices have served as small flats and single rooms for students and seniors, with shops and meeting rooms in the base storey.
The building underwent major renovation work completed in 2020 and now houses around 237 apartments. Its location in Beuel provides convenient access to local shops and public transportation.
The renovation project added two extra floors to the original structure, expanding its capacity significantly. The brown exterior was replaced with a lighter material, giving it a more contemporary appearance.
