The Bonn market square with the old town hall and the market fountain is always beautiful. For a short break I recommend the traditional café "Miebachs".

Sterntor Bonn City Gate

The original Sterntor in Bonn was built around 1244 at the end of the Sternstraße and was part of the medieval city fortification.

In 1898, the last remaining Torburg the former city fortification gate was demolished despite intervention by Kaiser Wilhelm II, in order to make the flow of traffic better. (Coordinates: 50 ° 44 '8,8 "N, 7 ° 5' 54,1" O - old location) Only two years later - 1900 - was a few meters offset a replacement structure under the same name on the north side of Bottlerplatz or on created the Vivatsgasse. It consists only partially of the remains of the former Sterntors, otherwise from remains of the city wall and an old half-tower. The corner tower and the surrounding crenellated wreath assign it to the historicism of the time. It is listed as an architectural monument, the barrel vault from the 17th century is designated as Bodendenkmal.

Two portraits are inserted in the outer archway, the Crucified with Mary and John and the "Our Lady of Seven Sorrows" from 1650.

In 2002, the "Lichtblicke" installation by the light artist Regine Vogel / Johannes Dinnebier of the Center for International Light Art took place at Sterntor.

Poppelsdorf Palace

Highlight • Castle

The Poppelsdorf Castle is the successor of a destroyed in the Truchsess War in 1583 Gothic moated castle and was planned from 1715 (cornerstone laying 21 August) to 1740 and built. Architect was the Frenchman Robert de Cotte. Builders were the Cologne Elector Joseph Clemens and his nephew and successor Clemens August, who had it extended to plans by Balthasar Neumann. After its builders, it was also called Castle Clemensruhe.

Today, in the castle next to the rebuilt Mineralogical Museum of the University of Bonn various scientific institutions such as parts of the Steinmann Institute of Geology, Mineralogy and Paleontology, the Institute of Zoology and the Institute of Molecular Physiology and Developmental Biology. There were temporarily housed parts of LIMES (Life and Medical Sciences Bonn), which, however, moved to this in 2010 after completion of its own building. In the courtyard, the Poppelsdorf Palace Concerts, which are performed by the Classical Philharmonic Orchestra Bonn under the baton of Heribert Beissel, take place every Saturday in the summer season.

Poppelsdorfer Allee

The Poppelsdorfer Allee is a boulevard in Bonn. Originally it connected the electoral palace with the Poppelsdorf palace over a length of exactly one kilometer. Today the inner city end is separated as Kaiserplatz by the railway tracks on the left bank of the Rhine, the remaining part is 800 meters long. Most of the street is built on with Wilhelminian style houses and horse chestnut trees.
The Poppelsdorfer Allee including the Kaiserplatz is a protected monument together with the Poppelsdorfer Castle, the Botanical Garden and a guard house.
