The Reichstag is the building of the German Parliament in Berlin; meetings of the state institute of the same name were held here from 1894 to 1933. In 1999, the building was renamed the Bundestag. Today, this place is one of the main Berlin attractions, which millions of tourists come to see every year. First of all, it attracts with its complicated and rich past, which is inseparable from the history of Germany, as well as the events of the Second World War.
Today, inside and outside, in some places, inscriptions of Russian soldiers on the sooty walls, bullet marks are preserved. These fragments make a strong impression, striking the eye against the background of perfectly restored surfaces. It must be said that for the Germans, the symbolism of the Reichstag is largely filled with sorrow, the memory of a bloody and senseless war that should never happen again. But it is also the image of a new European country with a developed economy, freedoms and a democratic system.
