Plenarbereich Reichstagsgebäude) is a historical edifice in Berlin, Germany, constructed to house the Reichstag, parliament of the German Empire. It was opened in 1894 and housed the Reichstag until 1933, when it was severely damaged in a fire. After World War II, the building fell into disuse, since the parliament of the German Democratic Republic met in the Palace of the Republic in East Berlin and the parliament of theFederal Republic of Germany met in the Bundeshaus in Bonn.
The ruined building was made safe against the elements and partially refurbished in the 1960s, but no attempt at full restoration was made until after German reunification on October 3, 1990, when it underwent a reconstruction led by internationally renowned architect Norman Foster. After its completion in 1999, it once again became the meeting place of the German parliament: the modern Bundestag.
Cool processing. So very, very bright
Very cool place, looks futuristic.
A great series – I really like your take on the new Bundestag – and people looking like insects against the huge bright windows.

Hi Claus,
Nice pictures, great post processing.
Your website is a bit confusing regarding the navigation. The old template was better.
Anyway, keep it up the good work !
I’ve never seen a building like that before! I really love how you’ve captured it! Great work
Just visit berlin, and you have the chance
just remember to book your ticket from home, because they need to tjek your identity for security reasons
Great series of photographs there. Clear, bright and interesting. Captivating, I’d say. Well done.
it has a science-fiction movie mood
These shots have been amazingly executed. Such pure brilliance in the white yet maintaining the vivid colours.
Amazing. Great shot.
Just a fantastic shot. The tones are perfect.
Thanks
