Deutsch: Luftbild des ehemaligen Abgeordnetenhochhaus „Langer Eugen“ in Bonn, jetzt Teil des UN-Campus, Blick vom Post Tower. Links ist das Bundeshaus zu erkennen. English: Aerial view (from Post Tower) of the former members of parliament building Langer Eugen, now a part of the UN Campus in Bonn.
context_page_description: Bonn is a city near Cologne. It is in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
  Bonn was founded on an old Roman settlement. Today it has about 310,000 inhabitants.
  Following World War II Bonn was in the British occupation zone. In 1949 Bonn was chosen as the provisional capital of West Germany.
  Bonn was the choice of Konrad Adenauer, a former Cologne Mayor and the first Chancellor of West Germany after World War II, who came from that area. Frankfurt am Main had most of the needed facilities already, so using Bonn meant spending about 95 Million DM to building new roads and building. However, Frankfurt am Main had been an important city during the war, and choosing Bonn was to symbolise a new start for the new Germany.
  Because of its relatively small size for a capital city, Bonn was sometimes jokingly called the Bundesdorf.
  Bonn was the capital of West Germany from 1949 until 1990 it. The Bundestag voted to move to Berlin on 20 June 1991, after a heated debate. The Federal President had already decided to make Schloß Bellevue in Berlin his main official residence. The extra building work needed meant it was 1999 before the government's move was completed.
