The German Parliament Building is very memorial. If you come, you can ask a local guide or ask local passers-by or friends. Because this is really memorial, it is worth visiting.

德国的国会大厦是柏林的一座历史建筑，于 1894 年开放，在 1933 年大火遭到严重破坏而被废弃，直到 1990 年德国统一后才进行了全面修复。 国会大厦在1999 年再次成为德国议会的会议场所。

In the Parliament Building, there is a guided tour available in different languages. You can book in advance.

To visit the Parliament Building, you need to apply in advance on the official website of the Parliament. You can choose to visit the dome freely (including voice guides) or a 90-minute guided tour including the inside of the Parliament. Since the application was late (about two weeks in advance), only the dome was applied for. Show confirmation letter, pass security inspection, and be led by staff. Through the front facade of the Parliament Building, the towering Ionian pillar rises to the ground. Above it is a wall similar to the Greek temple. The lintel says "DEM DEUTSCHEN VOLKE" for the people of Germany. Through the classical porch, into the modern hall, take the elevator to the upper dome. First, take the Chinese phonetic guide, and then go up the spiral path. At the center of the dome is a funnel-shaped cylinder covered with 360 mirrors to reflect sunlight and provide natural light and heat to the interior. These mirrors can also be adjusted by computer control to achieve maximum efficiency. The dome is a large opening. Although the rainwater enters the room directly, it will not affect the parliamentary meeting hall at all through the inner pipe of the column, but can play the function of centralized rainwater reuse. An All-transparent dome opens up a 360-degree view of Berlin; if it's not rainy, it should be an excellent view. But even on rainy days, through the introduction of voice guidance from one step to the next, from the dome to the four sides, the solemn Brandenburger Tor, the modern BolLin Railway Station, the winding spur River, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower in Berlin, "deep autumn" the imperial garden, and the unified German flag flying on the conference hall, the 360 degree panoramic new Berlin is being launched in the near future. The building itself can feel the vitality of New Berlin and New Germany.

The Capitol in central Berlin was decided to build after the defeat of France in the German-French War in 1871, during the last battle of the European battlefield in World War II. On April 28, 1945, German contact with the outside world was interrupted, and Soviet 152 mm and 203 mm howitzers entered Berlin city, attacking the German Parliament building. The Germans deployed light howitzers on the roof of the Capitol were not able to defeat the Soviets' large-calibre howitzers either destroyed or dumbed down. Red Army soldiers stormed into the Capitol through a gap bombed by shells, and fought with the Germans on a floor by floor. After a hundred years of vicissitudes, after several wars, the old Capitol has been incomplete, and the construction of the Capitol in 1995 has once again become the focus of the press and public attention. On 19 April 1999 the Bundestag officially moved into the restored and renovated Parliament building, which was re-entered into the center of German political life.
