From Empire to Republic | Exploring the history of the Reichstag building

The Reichstag building, located in the heart of Berlin, stands as a powerful symbol of the country’s political past. The building has witnessed pivotal moments, from the proclamation of the Weimar Republic to its destruction during World War II. After German reunification in 1990, a glass dome was added to its structure, which was designed by architect Norman Foster. This transparent dome offers panoramic views of Berlin and symbolizes the unity of the German people. Today, the Reichstag is home to the German Bundestag, the federal parliament.
