The representation of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate at the federal government had its seat from 1990 to 2000 in Bonn's parliament and government district . The former building of the State Representation , a villa built in 1912 and a new building from the late 1980s, are located in the district of Gronau on Heussallee (house numbers 18-24) in the center of the federal quarter southwest of the Federal Palace .

history

Initially, the Rhineland-Palatinate state representation was housed from mid-1951 in one of the makeshift so-called "press houses" at the Bundeshaus , which comprised nine rooms and belonged to the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. By October 1952, a new building was built by the state of Rhineland-Palatinate in the nearby Schedestraße directly on federal highway 9 . An extension was built here in the mid-1970s. In the early 1980s, the state acquired the double villa Heussallee 18/20 (built in 1912) including the surrounding property for its state representative.

After another plot of land previously owned by the federal government was purchased on Heussallee, the result of an open, state-wide architectural competition organized by the State of Rhineland-Palatinate in 1986 to complement the twin villa between 1987 and 1989 was a new building for the state representative. The planning of the building and the subsequent construction management were carried out by Ermel Horinek Weber ASPLAN Architects BDA (Kaiserslautern), who won second prize in the competition, in collaboration with HAUSS Architects + Engineers (Haßloch). The inauguration of the new building took place on September 6, 1990. The state representation also included the residential building at Heussallee 26/28 at the rear.

In the course of the relocation of the seat of parliament and government , the Rhineland-Palatinate state representation with its last 50 employees moved to Berlin at the end of December 2000 (→ Representation of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate in Berlin ). The former building of the state representative office had already been sold to the newly founded association Bundespensions-Service für Post und Telekommunikation , which moved into it in 2001. The residential building at Heussallee 26/28 was sold separately. The property has belonged to Marc Asbeck Grundbesitz Bonn since January 2005 and is currently rented to the Dutch company Stater Deutschland GmbH , which is represented there with its German headquarters . Most of the building is rented by the University of Bonn , including the University Forum as the seat of the Bonn Academy for Research and Teaching Practical Politics (BAPP) and for the Annemarie Schimmel College for Mamluk Studies .

architectural art

In the garden area of the building stands as architectural art a requirement imposed in the course of the construction of the permanent representation in August 1990 Sculpture ( Raumplastik ) the sculptor Christoph Mancke , who had emerged from a public competition among 42 participants from Rheinland-Pfalz victorious. It consists of a bevel made of rust-brown cast iron that is slightly bent several times and rests on a space-forming stone pergola . The entrance area shows on the outside an anthropomorphic sculpture made of bronze plates ( figure , 1988–90) by the sculptor Thomas Duttenhoefer, framed in a wall opening in the “guide wall” that extends inward .
