Capital from 1949 to reunification (4)

I believe the answer is:

bonn

(Other definitions for bonn that I've seen before include "German city" , "Beethoven's birthplace, old capital" , "Capital of the former West Germany" , "Capital of West Germany, 1949-1990" , "Rhine city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
