The celebrations began on September 1, 2023 with a ceremony by the German Bundestag at Museum Koenig to mark the 75th anniversary of the constituent session of the Parliamentary Council. They will continue until the 75th anniversary of the constituent session of the First German Bundestag in September 2024. As Bonn is the cradle of the Basic Law and the most stable democracy on German soil, the anniversaries is held under the motto "75 years of the Basic Law. Democracy made in Bonn".
Events in the city and from within the urban community
Numerous decentralized events are being planned in the city and within urban society. The entire urban community is invited to take part.
"I am grateful to the Council for its support," says Mayor Katja Dörner. "We want to celebrate this anniversary together in a dignified manner and emphasize the importance of democracy. A democratic community cannot be taken for granted, which is why it is important to raise democratic awareness in our society."
The city's activities, led by the Office of Press, Protocol and Public Relations, focused on a major celebration for citizens on May 25, 2024. There has been an "Open Day" at the Federal President's official residence in Bonn, and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) also opened its office. The Bundesrat invited visitors to its premises in Bonn, and the former plenary chamber of the Bundestag in today's WorldCCBonn could also have been visited. The German Bundestag presented itself on United Nations Square.
