Introduction

Reichstag Building was built in 1894 and was once the seat of the German Empire and Weimar Republic's national parliament. However, on the evening of February 27, 1933, the Reichstag fire occurred, leading to the Nazi Party seizing control of the national parliament and plunging the entire country into the depths of World War II. During the division of Germany, the restored Reichstag Building was located in West Berlin, but the government had already relocated to Bonn. With the reunification of Germany, the Reichstag underwent renovations and added a distinctive glass dome, becoming the seat of the German Federal Parliament in 1999. The words "DEM DEUTSCHEN VOLKE" (To the German people) are inscribed on the western gate of the building.
