DEM DEUTSCHEN VOLKE – To the German People. The Reichstags new dome allows people to walk the spiral walkway around a mirrored core to the top. The countrys leaders can look up from parliament below and see those they represent, traversing the walkway above.

This is an amazing structure on top of the Reichstag, designed by Norman Foster. The walkways up through this structure form a double helix. It’s has a wondrous feeling of walking in the clouds. When I got back down to the bottom I took quite a few shots of the silhouettes of people walking up and down. This was my favourite.

Berlin 2007
Berlin,Germany The Reichstag building in Berlin was constructed to house the Reichstag, the first parliament of the German Empire. It was opened in 1894 and housed the Reichstag until 1933, when it was severely damaged in a fire supposedly set by Dutch communist Marinus van der Lubbe, who was later beheaded for the crime. That verdict has been a subject of controversy over the years. The National Socialist German Workers Party used this event as casus belli to begin a purge of “traitors” in Berlin and to ban the Communist Party of Germany. The building remained in ruins until the reunification of Germany, when it underwent reconstruction led by internationally renowned architect Norman Foster. After its completion in 1999, it became the meeting place of the modern German parliament, the Bundestag. (Text from Wikipedia )
