When the government moved to Berlin, there was disappointment and a bad mood. But the city has reinvented itself and is growing rapidly. This development is also reflected in a kiosk steeped in history.
It is windy and rainy this morning in Bonn, but the group of tourists from France patiently looks at the kiosk. The older women and men are currently exploring the former government district on the Rhine on foot. Your city guide explains what the “Bundesbüdchen” is all about. This lettering is emblazoned in bright red above the sales booth from the 1950s. A baker offers sandwiches or pastries, there is also bockwurst, as well as books about Bonn and of course the newspapers of the day.
