Along the Bonngasse stands the pink-painted house of Beethoven where the famous composer was born on 16 December 1770 into a family originally from Malines (Belgium). At 16, the young Beethoven already enjoyed much fame as a musician in the service of the court chapel of the Elector. Six years later, he was to leave Bonn for good to live in Vienna. Ludwig van Beethoven composed the 9th Symphonie (Ode to Joy), which has been chosen as the European anthem in 1985.Shop
