Collegium Leoninum (Bonn)
The Collegium Leoninum was the theological seminary of the diocese of Aachen in Bonn . The diocese's candidates for priesthood lived in the Leoninum while they were studying at the University of Bonn .
It is opposite the old cemetery near the Bonn town hall with the address Am Alten Friedhof 13 (corner of Noeggerathstraße). The building stands as a monument under monument protection . It was completed in 1897 and then served as a theologian convict for the Archdiocese of Cologne when the Collegium Albertinum no longer offered enough space for this purpose.
After the re-establishment of the Aachen diocese in 1930, it was taken over by it. However, for decades it was also inhabited by candidates for priesthood from Cologne . Finally, some students from other disciplines (without the goal of training as a priest) were allowed to rent a student room there. About 100 students could live in the Leoninum.
In 1999 the Collegium Leoninum was given up by the diocese of Aachen and the theologian convict was moved to the “ Paulushaus ” in Bonn's southern part, a former branch of the Jesuit order . Since then and after a corresponding renovation, the Collegium Leoninum has housed an old people's home, a hotel and a Pope Leo XIII. named restaurant Leo's Bistro .
