335 meters above sea level: The Petersberg towers visible from afar above the Rhine Valley in the Siebengebirge. And it not only has an exposed position geographically, but also of great historical importance. For decades the summit was the guest house of the Bonn Republic. After the Second World War, the Allies initially used the traditional hotel as their headquarters. From the 1950s onwards, the Federal Republic of Germany housed its state guests here - and in the 1980s it turned the building into a guest house itself.
