Bonn was, more than 2000 years ago just a Roman encampment with a bridge over the river Rhine. In modern history the city is best know as the capital of West-Germany from 1949 to 1990 (when East and West-Germany where reunited).

For music lovers however, Bonn is foremost the native town of Ludwig van Beethoven (in 1770), as well as the the place where Robert Schumann deceased (in 1856).
