[edit] Bill Mockridge

Bonn is the home of many Comedic actors (Bastian Pastewka, Markus Maria Profitlich, Anka Zink, Michael Müller, Bill Mockridge etc.) due to the internationally, well-established Improvisation Theater "Springmaus", which was founded in 1986 and has significantly changed the German Comedic Society. Founder and owner of "Springmaus" is Canadian actor, director, producer and Stand-Up Comic Bill Mockridge, who currently resides in Bonn with his wife Margie Kinsky, also a Comedian at Springmaus Improv Theater, and his six children, who are all actively involved in Show business. Nick Mockridge is a director for short-films of the "Art House" genre, including his prize winning movie "Into the Morning". Matthew Mockridge is a successful singer in a boyband called "Part Six", which have reached many Top-Ten hits in the German Billboard Charts. Luke Mockridge pursues a carrer in comedic writing and Stand-Up and has worked on many Springmaus projects, including his father's One-Man Shows "Leise Rieselt der Kalk" and "Rostig, Rostig". Leonardo Mockridge is professional musician, currently being tought at well-estabslished Brighton Institute of Music. Jeremy Mockridge is perhaps the most well-known offspring of the Mockridge Family, who has starred in many German Blockbuster such as "Die Liebe hat das letzte Wort", "Die Wilden Hühner" and "Die Wilden Hühner 2". Besides doing Theater work, Jeremy Mockridge has scored a role alongside his father in the most successful and longest running Television Soap-Opera in Germany "Lindenstrasse". Liam Mockridge is a model for several local clothing stores across the Bonn area.

Composer and pianist Robert Schumann lived for the last two years of his life in his Endenich house on Magdalenenstraße. He died on July 29, 1856 at the Richarz'schen Heilanstalt near today's Sebastianstraße.

In the northern part is the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie which was opened in 1972.
