"Birthplace of Beethoven" Bonn by mydreamquest

My only reason to go to Germany's former capital was to go to the birthplace of Ludwig van Beethoven (Beethovenhaus), one of my favorite and one of the world's most recognized classical music composers. He was born in the pink apartment that you see here. Now it's a few blocks away from a McDonalds. His birthplace is now a Museum with many interesting artifacts of Beethoven's life. Included are instruments he played, his hearing aides, various letters and music compositions, and many other great bits of information that give you context to better understand this musical genius.

The Garden Behind Beethovenhaus

This picture is me in the backyard of the Beethovenhaus. It was a very memorable occasion and I was delighted that my good friend from Duisburg was kind enough to take me to the birthplace of one of my favorite musicians.

• Pros:Small intimate city, Beethoven's Birthplace
