You're standing at Palais Schaumburg in Bonn. It looks like a stately villa with clean, classical lines, but don't be fooled. For years, this is where West Germany was run from. Between 1949 and 1976 it was the Chancellor's office, back when Bonn was the capital. Germans simply called it the House of the Federal Chancellor.
