Today's Bonn Nordstadt is a grown quarter on the edge of the historic old town near the city center. Its origin is about the same as that of the southern part of the city. The north town was not as favored in terms of landscape as the south town and so it developed more into a residential area for the lower middle class. Some of the predominantly three-storey residential buildings built in this district have commercial areas in the basement or in annexes. In contrast to the southern part of the city, almost all of the residential buildings did not have balconies or front gardens.
Narrow, winding streets and old houses characterize the southern part of Nordstadt (Innere Nordstadt), which has therefore been referred to as the “old town” since the mid-1970s. Due to the many pubs, this district was and still is very popular with students and young people. To the northeast, this district is bordered by Kölnstrasse. The entire Nordstadt district has been under monument protection since 1990.
In the northern part of the city there are kindergartens, schools, small businesses, cafés, restaurants and Kunstcarré. Near the town hall, at the southern end of the northern part of the city, is the “Old Cemetery,” which was laid out in 1715 and contains the graves of famous Bonn personalities. The Bonner Kunstverein and the Künstlerforum Bonn are located opposite the listed Frankenbad, one of Bonn's four indoor swimming pools, on Hochstadenring. At the Viktoria Bridge you will find the famous August Macke House, where exhibitions about the artist are shown, and the Women's Museum is also in the northern part of the city. There are also a number of church buildings to marvel at, including the neo-Gothic Catholic city church of St. Marien, located on Adolfstrasse and the corner of Oppenhoffstrasse, built between 1887 and 1892, which is one of the most important and purest churches in Bonn's city center. The Ludwig Erhard vocational college for business and administration is also located in the northern part of the city.
The district has the large “Distributor Circle” commercial area with a direct connection to the A555 and A565. In addition to a few car dealers and the eggnog manufacturer Verpoorten, there are also supermarkets, discount stores, a hardware store and a few other retailers.
