explanation: Situated in North Rhine-Westphalia region on the Rhine river, Bonn originated from a Roman fort built in 9 A.D. Little has remained from this epoch, for a medieval city, Bonnburg, was built, by using its wall stones. Between 1288 and 1803, Bonn was the capital of Principality of Cologne and many baroque buildings were added. Bonn was the capital of West Germany between 1949 and 1990. After the reunification, the essentials of governmental functions have been moved to Berlin. Beethoven was born there in 1770
