The Bonn city council governs the city alongside the mayor. It used to be based in the [[Rococo]]-style ''{{lang|de|Altes Rathaus}}'' (old city hall), built in 1737, located adjacent to Bonn's central market square. However, due to the enlargement of Bonn in 1969 through the incorporation of Beuel and Bad Godesberg, it moved into the larger Stadthaus facilities further north. This was necessary for the city council to accommodate an increased number of representatives. The mayor of Bonn still sits in the ''{{lang|de|Altes Rathaus}}'', which is also used for representative and official purposes.

The most recent city council election was held on 13 September 2020, and the results were as follows:
