History
Broadcasting House Dornbusch

The site and the building were originally intended as the parliamentary building for German Bundestag. The plans for the round building ("Rundhaus") were developed in 1948 by architect Gerhard Weber. In anticipation for the German capital being moved to Frankfurt, building work had started. However, the parliamentary council voted for Bonn as new seat of government.[1][2] While the shell of the building had been completed at this point, the plans were changed to re-dedicate the site as new seat for the regional broadcaster.[3][4][5] The building was dedicated in 1951 and the move of the broadcaster was completed in 1954.[6][7][8]
