The Altes Stadthaus ("Old City Hall") is a former administration building in Bonn, Germany, built for the French occupation forces after World War I.

[3] As of 2012[update], the Altes Stadthaus is being renovated and extended as a "House of Learning" (German: "Haus der Bildung"), which will accommodate the community college and the library.

After the Neues Stadthaus—the new city administration building—was built, the main floor of the section of Altes Stadthaus facing Mühlheimer Platz was rebuilt to house the library.

[8] After World War II, the Bundesministerium für gesamtdeutsche Fragen was housed in the Altes Stadthaus between 1949 and 1957, primarily in the now demolished section of the building.

The director of the Bonn Women's Museum, Marianne Pitzen, accused the initiators of the plan of selling off public property and underestimating the value of cultural heritage.

[11] At the end of October 2006, a citizens' group was formed to promote the creation of a "House of Learning" (German: "Haus der Bildung") at Bottlerplatz.

[12] At its session of 23 November 2006, the planning committee of the city council charged its staff with examining how the Altes Stadthaus could be used for large-scale retail without damaging it as an architectural landmark.

[13] On 21 January 2007, the SPD and CDU city councillors announced that they had agreed to house the "Haus der Bildung" in the Altes Stadthaus.
