The representation of the state of Baden-Württemberg at the federal government had its seat from 1954 to 2000 in Bonn's parliamentary and government district . The location is in the Gronau district between Schlegelstraße and Willy-Brandt-Allee ( B 9 ) in the center of the federal district , immediately south of the Federal Government's Press and Information Office and opposite the House of History . A large part of the former agency was demolished in 2011 for the new brandtelf office building.

history

The three founding states of Baden-Württemberg - Baden , Württemberg-Baden and Württemberg-Hohenzollern - had their own state representations in Bonn from 1949/50 in separate buildings: Baden in Kessenich (Scharnhorststrasse 9; today Aloys-Schulte-Strasse), Württemberg-Baden in the Suedstadt (Lennéstraße 8) and Württemberg-Hohenzollern also in the southern part (Marie road 6). In 1952, the newly founded south-west state bought the property on Schlegelstrasse. After construction began in 1953, the state representation was completed in 1954 and inaugurated on January 25, 1955. An extension and renovation from 1972 according to plans by the State Building Department in Stuttgart roughly doubled the size of the property. The two- to three-storey building was clearly set back from the street front and enclosed on three sides an inner courtyard used for events. In 1987 the building was rebuilt and expanded. In 1991 a guest house was built on the property as a corner building to Heussallee.

In the course of the relocation of the seat of parliament and government (1999/2000), the Baden-Württemberg representation, with 71 employees at last, moved to Berlin in June 2000 . In 2001 the property was sold to an investor who rented the former guest house to a beauty clinic, but who had to foreclose the former agency after bankruptcy in 2008 . The new owner built a four- story office building called brandtelf there in 2011/12 with an office area of ​​12,000 square meters. The former state representative office was demolished except for the current clinic, the listed old building has been integrated into the new building with part of its facade facing Schlegelstraße. After laying the foundation stone in May 2011 and the topping-out ceremony in November 2011, the construction project was completed in summer 2012.
