Reichstag Dome in Berlin, Germany
Perched above the debating chamber of the Bundestag, the German parliament, the dome of the Reichstag in Berlin was completed in 1999 to symbolize Germany’s reunification. Architect Norman Foster’s glass dome design for the new cupola harkens back to the glass and steel dome that once topped the German parliamentary building. Modern construction adds a few innovative features to the new Reichstag dome, including ramps that allow visitors to safely walk the entirety of the dome, and a shade that moves with the sun, to prevent dangerous glare from the glass and intense heat inside the building. Stroll around within the dome to enjoy views of the reunified Berlin’s cityscape.
