This Bonn city walk takes place on June 20, 2026, in the old Tannenbusch and opens up an impressive discovery experience between settlement history, architecture, and vibrant neighborhood culture. The meeting point is the pavilion of the Dune Foxes next to the high-rise Im Tannenbusch 3. The tour connects local history with vivid insights into the development of a district that still shapes Bonn today.

A walk through a piece of Bonn's contemporary history

Rainer Selmann has been guiding city walks through Bonn for over 20 years and is considered a knowledgeable Bonn historian with a solid understanding of the city's history. For Tannenbusch, he connects the origins of the settlements, social change, and the cultural significance of the quarter into a lively context. The walk shows how strongly architecture, urban planning, and memorial culture are intertwined here.

Alt-Tannenbusch, Dune, and HICOG Settlement

Particularly appealing is the view of the HICOG settlement and the historical dune Tannenbusch. The dune is a nature reserve of about seven hectares in the middle of the district and a rare natural relic with a distinct landscape influence. The settlement itself represents Bonn's transition into modernity and tells of a time when housing, green spaces, and architectural ideas formed a complete concept.

Sights and atmosphere along the route

The walk makes the district with its distinctive buildings, open green spaces, and historical references immediately tangible. The pavilion of the Dune Foxes, the high-rise Im Tannenbusch 3, and the surrounding settlement areas provide an authentic framework for this cultural and historical walk. Those interested in urban development, Bonn's post-war history, and heritage architecture will experience a particularly diverse tour format here.
