The Reichstag is, since 1999, the seat of the German Parliament, the Bundestag. It was built between 1884 and 1894 in Neo-Renaissance style to plans by Paul Wallot.

Between 1995 and 1999, the complex was redesigned by Norman Foster for its use as a parliament building. Its landmark feature is the accessible glass dome above the plenary hall based on a design idea by Gottfried Böhm from 1992.
