The Reichstag, a majestic Renaissance building built over a century ago, is today the seat of the German parliament, the Bundestag. This building survived a lot in the twentieth century. - was almost destroyed during the Second World War, then restored, served as a small historical museum, but still it has not lost its original meaning and to this day is the building of the German Parliament. In 1995–1999 The Reichstag was reconstructed by the English architect N. Foster, who preserved the historical appearance of the building, modernized and improved the functionality of the premises, and also built a huge glass dome with an observation platform. Currently, the interior and the dome of the Reichstag are open to the public only by appointment on the website of the Bundestag. During a free tour of the building, visitors will be shown the premises and halls where meetings and voting take place, the Wall of Memory with preserved inscriptions of Soviet soldiers (as a symbol of victory over fascism), the Bundestag archive and a glass dome with an observation terrace overlooking Berlin.
