A good way from a German city! (4)
I believe the answer is:
bonn
'a german city' is the definition.
(city in Germany)
'a good way' is the wordplay.
'a good' becomes 'bon' (I've seen this in other clues).
'way' becomes 'n' (Compass direction - North).
'bon'+'n'='BONN'
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for bonn that I've seen before include "Capital of the former West Germany" , "Beethoven's birthplace, old capital" , "Capital of West Germany, 1949-1990" , "old European capital" , "W German capital 1949-90" .)
