Path of Democracy
The Path of Democracy
takes you through the Federal Quarter in Bonn and consists of signposted stops at contemporary historical sites that remember 60 years of democracy history and provide information about important places where political events took place in the former government quarter.
The tour begins at the House of the History of the Federal Republic of Germany. Twelve stations comprise the shorter circular route, which can be completed on foot in 90 minutes. In addition, other locations, such as the Hofgartenwiese as the site of major demonstrations or the former headquarters of the major parties, lie outside the closer path.
