Today I got two postcards from Germany. I sent both to the postmarking units of the Deutsche Post to get special postmark.
One of them I got a few ago in an envelope. It shows the Posttower in Bonn.
The Federal City of Bonn in North Rhine-Westphalia hosted in 1949 the Parliamentary Council drafting and adopting the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany. Bonn was from 1949 to 1990 the capital of West Germany and until 1999 the seat of the Government of the reunited Germany. Today is Bonn the second official residence of the President of Germany, the Chancellor of Germany, the Bundesrat, and the first official seat of six German federal ministries. Bonn is also home to the two DAX-listed corporations Deutsche Post DHL and Deutsche Telekom and to 19 United Nations institutions. In 1770 Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn.
The Posttower in Bonn is the headquarter of the Deutsche Post DHL. It is 162,5m high and thus the highest building in North Rhine-Westphalia and the highest German skyscraper outside of Frankfurt am Main.
