Monumental example of Wilhelminian style. The German parliament
building, designed by P.Wallot, was erected between 1884 and 1894.
Burnt down on 27 February 1933. The Red Army raised the Soviet
flag when Berlin fell in April 1945. Restored between 1957 and
1972. The German Parliament reconvened here again in 1999 after
extensive restorations. Norman Foster’s glass dome (23.5 metres
high and 40 metres wide) became Berlin’s newest symbol. The
dome, illuminated during the night, can be visited (on weekdays
from 10am till 10pm). Great views. The restaurant is also open in
the evening.
