6 Monuments & Statues in Bonn That You Shouldn't Miss
Though probably best known as the capital of West Germany from 1949 to 1990 (and of reunified Germany until 1999), Bonn actually has a history dating back to the 1st century BC. Roman soldiers were stationed here and the largest known Roman fort was built at Bonn. In medieval times, the town gained prominence when the Archbishop of Cologne transferred his seat to Bonn. The city's most famous son is Ludwig van Beethoven, born in 1770 at Bonngasse, where a museum now honors him.

As a highly visible landmark on one of Bonn's main traffic arteries, "ARC '89" dominates the city's skyscape. By choosing this location in the former government district, and by setting the arches at angle of 89 degrees, Venet is commemorating the collapse of the former GDR in 1989. The profound changes precipitated by the fall of the Wall also held far-reaching ramifications for the city of Bonn
