The Representation of the State of Lower Saxony to the Federation had from 1949-50 to 2000, based in Bonn government quarter . The last building used by the state representative office , erected in 1989/90, was in the Gronau district in the center of the federal district on Kurt-Schumacher-Straße (house number 28) at the corner of Fritz-Erler-Straße opposite the Post Tower . In 2020 it was largely canceled.

The first state representation established by the state of Lower Saxony in Bonn was located in Dahlmannstrasse, just a few hundred meters north of the later accommodation. In 1986, the state hosted an open, state-wide architectural competition for a new building for the state representative office on Kurt-Schumacher-Straße - on land previously owned by the federal government - as a result of which the architecture firm Christa Sommerfeld-Lambart in Hanover was the second prize winner to carry out the project has been. The foundation stone for the new building was laid in April 1989 , after a year and a half of construction it was inaugurated by the then Prime Minister of Lower Saxony, Gerhard Schröder, in November 1990. In the course of the relocation of the seat of parliament and government (1999/2000), the Lower Saxony state representation with 45 employees moved to Berlin at the end of 2000 . The state rented the property from November 2001 to Deutsche Post AG, which is directly adjacent to its corporate headquarters . The Bonn entrepreneur Marc Asbeck acquired it at the beginning of 2006 for 5.1 million euros from the state of Lower Saxony. By April 2008, the former state representation than was rotunda and the input member overbuilt by a two-storey increase of a four-storey office building with her to the so-called Post Campus I heard. Around 850 Deutsche Post employees were accommodated there. In 2013, the owner's plans for an extension of at least six storeys to the building became known, but their building law admissibility did not result in a final decision. Instead, apart from the part that has already been built over, the building has been torn down since spring 2020 and is to give way to a Deutsche Post AG high-rise.

The building contained a striking, eleven meter high and 300 m² large domed hall (rotunda) that was used for events. In front of the former building is a sculpture that was inaugurated in May 1991 and is intended to represent the landscape of Lower Saxony by means of an interrupted sinus curve ( bronze ) on a base ( Jura travertine ).
