Reichstag building - Headquarter of the German Parliament in Berlin
The German Parliament is located in the Reichstag building at the Platz der Republik in Berlin. During a sightseeing tour, whether on foot, on a Trabi safari or with the classic Hop-On Hop-Off bus, you are guaranteed to pass by the government district. This includes the Federal Chancellery, neighboring Bundestag buildings and just the Reichstag building. How about a sightseeing tour?
More about the Reichstag building:
The building was built according to plans by architect Paul Wallot between 1884 and 1894 in the neo-Renaissance style. It is located in the Tiergarten district on the left bank of the Spree River. It once housed both the Reichstag of the German Empire and that of the Weimar Republic. Initially, the Federal Council of the Empire also met there. After severe damage from the Reichstag fire of 1933 and World War II, the building was restored in a modernized form in the 1960s. It served for exhibitions and special events.
From 1995 to 1999, the Reichstag was fundamentally redesigned by Norman Foster for its permanent use as a parliament building, which was decided in 1991. On April 19, 1999, the keys were handed over to Bundestag President Wolfgang Thierse. Since then, the German Parliament has been meeting there. A striking feature in the cityscape is the walk-in glass dome above the plenary hall, based on an idea by Gottfried Böhm.
