The term Federal City (Bundesstadt in German) is a title for certain cities in Germany, Switzerland and Russia, and a historic term in the United States.
In Germany, Bonn has been designated as a Federal City. Since April 28, 1994, it is the second official residence of the Federal President and the Federal Chancellor, Bundesrat (upper house) and the first official residence of six federal ministries and approximately 20 federal authorities.
