There is the anecdote that after WWII Bonn was favored over Frankfurt as new capital of West Germany because of its proximity to Adenauer’s home town of Cologne.

One other reason proffered for Bonn over Berlin was that Frankfurt was enough of a cultural, industrial and commercial hub that it might continue as capital after reunification. Not even seriously discussed when it unexpected happened with Bonn.
