Christmas impressions „I“ from the last night by -8 °C in Berlin!

            ENG: So beautifully empty, nice and cold here at -8 °C in Berlin's government district. Just me, my camera and the peace. Today I went with the subway line U5 to look at the new stations again and photograph the Bundestag. So you can also enjoy the wonderful view. 

Built between 1884 and 1894 in the Tiergarten district in the neo-Renaissance style by the architect Paul Wallot, the building on the left bank of the River Spree housed both the Reichstag of the German Empire and the Reichstag of the Weimar Republic. Initially, the Federal Council of the Reich also met there. The Reichstag, democratically elected according to the constitution of 1919, met for the first time in this building on 24 June 1920. After severe damage caused by the Reichstag fire of 1933 and the Second World War, the building was restored in a modernized form in the 1960s and fundamentally redesigned from 1991 to 1999. On April 19, 1999, the keys were handed over to the President of the Bundestag Wolfgang Thierse. Since then, the German Bundestag has met there.

GER: So schön leer und kalt hier bei -8 °C im Berliner Regierungsviertel. Nur ich, meine Kamera und die Ruhe. Heute bin ich mit der U-Bahn Linie U5 gefahren, um mir die neuen Bahnhöfe nochmals anzuschauen und den Bundestag abzulichten. So könnt auch Ihr den wunderbaren Ausblick genießen. 

Der von 1884 bis 1894 im Stadtteil Tiergarten unter dem Architekten Paul Wallot im Stil der Neorenaissance errichtete Bau am linken Ufer der Spree beherbergte sowohl den Reichstag des Deutschen Kaiserreiches als auch den Reichstag der Weimarer Republik. Dort tagte zunächst auch der Bundesrat des Reichs. Der nach der Verfassung von 1919 demokratisch gewählte Reichstag trat am 24. Juni 1920 erstmals in diesem Gebäude zusammen. Nach schweren Beschädigungen durch den Reichstagsbrand von 1933 und im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde das Gebäude in den 1960er Jahren in modernisierter Form wiederhergestellt und von 1991 bis 1999 noch einmal grundlegend umgestaltet. Am 19. April 1999 fand die Schlüsselübergabe an den Bundestagspräsidenten Wolfgang Thierse statt. Seither tagt dort der Deutsche Bundestag.
