Poppelsdorf Palace is a Baroque building in the Poppelsdorf district of Bonn, western Germany, which is now part of the University of Bonn. The design of a new structure to replace the old ruined castle of Poppelsdorf commenced in 1715 at the request of the owner, Joseph Clemens, Archbishop-Elector of Cologne, who engaged the French architect Robert de Cotte. Clemens wanted a maison de plaisance that would be near his remodeled Bonn Palace one-half mile to the north. There was to be a canal between the two, following the example of the Palace of Versailles and the Trianon de Marbre.
De Cotte himself never travelled to Bonn to inspect the site, and on 24 May 1715 Clemens wrote to him: I received your project for my Maison de Poppelsdorf, which pleased me infinitely, and I know nothing more beautiful or better convceived, but we are now obliged to consider the site on which it must be built. No drawing exists of the plan for De Cotte's first project, but letters and subsequent plans indicate that it was square with two axes of symmetry at right angles to one another. It consisted of four two-storey wings surrounding a circular inner court with an arcaded gallery on its circumference. Clemens considered the plan too ambitious and asked de Cotte's assistant in Bonn, Benoît de Fortier, to revise the plan, reducing three of the wings to one storey, but leaving the garden wing with two. Clemens wrote to de Cotte: I realized that it would be quite useless to erect so large a building on that site, which is but a cannon shot from town…. For the most part my retinue returns to the city at night, and I keep near me only those who are absolutely necessary to serve me.
The extant plan shows a square entrance vestibule with 16 columns: four free-standing, and the remainder engaged with the walls. The vestibule leads to the circular gallery, on the opposite side of which is a doorway leading into the main domed salon on the garden front. To the left of the salon is the elector's apartment arranged as an enfilade of grande salle, chambre d'audience, chambre à coucher (bedroom), and a cabinet. To the right of the salon is the salle à manger (dining room). The chapel is located in the center of the right wing, while the right front quadrant houses the kitchens and the concierge, and the left front quadrant, the stables. Minor rooms, stairs, and a loo occupy the corners between circular gallery and the main rooms in the garden side, and the corresponding spaces on the entrance side provide courtyards for the kitchens and the stables.
Models for this type of plan of a country house with an interior circular courtyard include the Villa Madama, Rome (begun c. 1516), and the Villa Farnese, Caprarola (begun 1559). Work came to a halt after Clemens' death in 1723, but his nephew and heir, Archbishop of Cologne Clemens August, undertook a second campaign of construction in 1745–1746.
Under the Prussian rule, in 1818 the Palace and the nearby Park became part of the University of Bonn. In the same year the Park was converted to the Botanical Garden of Bonn, which today contains about 0.5 hectares of greenhouse area with eleven greenhouses and about 8.000 different plants. In 1944 the Palace was heavily damaged by an Allied air attack. It has been rebuilt in a much simpler appearance from 1955 on.

Places to see in ( Bonn - Germany )
Bonn is a city in western Germany straddling the Rhine river. It’s known for the central Beethoven House, a memorial and museum honoring the composer’s birthplace. Nearby are Bonn Minster, a church with a Romanesque cloister and Gothic elements, the pink-and-gold Altes Rathaus, or old city hall, and Poppelsdorf Palace housing a mineralogical museum. To the south is Haus der Geschichte with post-WWII history exhibits.
When this relaxed city on the Rhine became West Germany’s ‘temporary’ capital in 1949 it surprised many, including its own residents. When in 1991 a reunited German government decided to move to Berlin, it shocked many, especially Bonn's own residents.
More than a generation later, Bonn is doing just fine, thank you. It has a healthy economy and lively urban vibe. For visitors, the birthplace of Ludwig van Beethoven has plenty of note, not least the great composer’s birth house, a string of top-rated museums, a lovely riverside setting and the nostalgic feel of the old government quarter. Expect a big line-up of special events in 2020 – Beethoven's 250th birthday.
Bonn was the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany (previously, West Germany) and lies on the river Rhine some 20 km south of Cologne. The city remains a popular choice for large-scale exhibitions and conferences. Bonn is best known culturally as the birthplace of Ludwig van Beethoven. Its population is 315,000.
You should consider a trip to Bonn if you like atmospheric smaller cities with many students and a rich culture. Admirers call it Germany's most northern city because of its street culture with many cafes and beer gardens in the summer. It is also a good base for day trips to Cologne, Düsseldorf, the romantic Rhine and the Eifel region.
Bonn's beginning dates between 13 - 9 BC when Romans began building roads, bridges, and fortresses at a location known as Bonna. One well-documented event was the martyrdom of two Thebaean legionaries. The Thebaean Legion was an all Christian legion, which refused to worship the emperor as a god. As punishment, the Thebaean Legion's commander, Mauritius was executed in St. Moritz as were many other Thebaean legionaries including Cassius and Florentius, Bonn's patron saints, who were martyred at the location of the present-day Münster basilica.
In December 1770 Bonn's most famous son, Ludwig van Beethoven, was born on Bonngasse. Bonn is probably best known as Beethoven's birth place and this fact is well advertised by the city despite Beethoven's vehement disgust towards his hometown. Beethoven spent some time in Vienna hoping to study with Mozart, but after his mother's death he was forced to return to Bonn for five years to raise his two younger brothers since his alcoholic father was unable to. In 1792 Beethoven returned to Vienna and never came back to Bonn.

Travel Bonn, Germany - Beethoven Statue in Bonn
Take a tour of Beethoven Statue in Bonn in Bonn, Germany -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
As powerful and expressive as his Fifth Symphony, this statue of Ludwig van Beethoven stands on the Münsterplatz in Bonn.
In the summer of 1845, this bronze monument of Beethoven was unveiled to commemorate his 75th birthday.
Beethoven is portrayed with a stylus in hand ready to compose; his eyes, upturned towards the heavens, await inspiration.
This magnificent tribute to the composer was actually funded by a fellow composer, Franz Liszt, who composed Cantata for the Inauguration of the Beethoven Monument for its unveiling.
Each side of the granite pedestal is a relief that symbolizes one of the four types of music: instrumental, symphonic, spiritual and opera.
Beethoven stands so expressively that as you look at him, you can almost hear his music.

Bonn Minster, Bonn, Germany - 24th August, 2013
Unfortunately our sight-seeing in Bonn got off to a bad start, and didn't get a lot better. The skies darkened, the heavens opened and we had two days of solid rain. This is one of only two films that I made in Bonn, the other being the Inter City Hotel.
This film is of limited quality, but does manage to showcase some of what Bonn Minster has to offer, or as the Germans call it Das Bonner Münster.
The film features an exterior shot, that I tentatively took whilst trying to keep the camera dry, before being followed with views inside the Minster of the internal architecture, decor, stained glass windows and religious artwork.
It ends with some shots of the court yard outside, again, drenched in rain.

BONN - Poppelsdorfer Allee (Around the Avenue)
Nach einem Foto-Shooting in am Rheinufer in Bonn, hatte ich mich noch zu einem kleinen Spaziergang zum Hofgarten und kurfürstlichen Schloß hinreissen lassen, um von dort zu dem gegenüberliegenden Poppeldorfer Schloß zu gelangen. Und diesen Weg bestreitet man am besten über die Poppelsdorfer Allee, einer prachtvollen Strasse, die einen mit ihren Gründerzeithäusern drumherum in die Zeit des 19. Jahrhunderts versetzen. Ursprünglich verband die Allee beide Schlösser miteinander, heute aber wird der Weg durch die Bahngleise am Kaiserplatz abgetrennt. Dennoch lädt der Weg unter den Kastanienbäumen zu einem Spaziergang ein.
After a photo shoot in the River Rhine in Bonn, I had let myself be carried away even to a small walk from the courtyard garden at the electoral palace, to the opposite Poppeldorfer palace. This way you go best over the Poppelsdorfer Avenue, a beautiful street, that puts with his ancient houses at the time of the 19th century. Originally the avenue combined both plalaces, but today is the way severed though the railroad track and the Kaiserplatz. However, the way under the chestnuttrees invites you for a walk
