Guided Story

You're standing in front of the Schulze-Delitzsch-Haus, an office building designed by Wilhelm Denninger. Completed in 1954, it served as the headquarters for the National Association of German Cooperative Banks until 2001, and they still occupy it today. Situated at the bustling corner of Heussallee and Schlegelstraße, it plays a central role in Bonn's Federal Quarter. To your left is Heussallee, a key thoroughfare in this district. Just 204 meters northeast, you'll find the Bundesbüdchen, a well-known monument. Looking southwest, the sculpture 'In Seven Days Time' can be seen. This building is a testament to post-war architecture, constructed during a pivotal time when Bonn was the provisional capital of West Germany. A piece of history right here on Heussallee.
