Even now, Bonn and the “Bonn Republic” stand for peace, freedom, and Germany’s rise after World War II. Palais Schaumburg, the Chancellor’s Bungalow, and the old parliament chamber are all real places from Germany’s political history that can now be visited. There are also many displays in the city that bring back memories and show the political and historical background to events that happened between the end of World War II and reunification.
