The Reichstag/ with it. The "State Assembly" is the highest German representative and legislative body of Germany during the Weimar Republic and, formally, under the Nazis. "To the German people" - such an inscription was placed on the facade of the Reichstag during the 1st World War In 1945. The names and inscriptions of Soviet soldiers and officers appeared on its walls.During the first decade after the end of the war, the Reichstag, located in the western part of Berlin, remained in a dilapidated state.In 1954, due to the threat of collapse, the remains of the dome were blown up. The repair work was delayed until 1973. The walls inside were lined with white panels, which hid the traces of fighting, and also preserved inscriptions and autographs of Soviet soldiers from further destruction. In 1995-1999, the Reichstag building was reconstructed. Preserving traces of history was one of the conditions of an open international competition, which was won by British architect Norman Foster. The capture of the Reichstag in 1945 is today recalled by inscriptions made by soldiers of the Red Army.Now, thanks to special restoration technology, they look as if they appeared only yesterday. All inscriptions have been translated into German (except for uncensored ones, which were deleted in agreement with the Russian side). In recent years, two books have been published in Germany devoted to the fate of those soldiers who left their names and inscriptions on the walls of the Reichstag. German historians managed to identify them and find out the post-war fate of many of them. These books have not been translated into Russian. The text and photo are taken from the DW website /"German Wave"/.

A historical place. Smart Germans kept all the inscriptions of Soviet soldiers on the walls of the Reichstag (only obscene ones, and then, in agreement with the Russians, painted over). And in their yard there is a Jewish cemetery. So that all Germans remember what they did and how they were treated. It is a pity that this wise example does not come to mind for some current figures.

Our shared memory, pride and sadness.... How many of our soldiers died during the storming of the Reichstag in the last days of the war... We registered at home via the Internet, got a free tour of the Reichstag building in Russian. It is interesting and informative. We were especially touched by the inscriptions of our soldiers on the walls, which the Germans preserved during the restoration of the building. If you take the elevator up to the glass dome, you will see the whole of Berlin at a glance. Upstairs you will be given an audio guide in your native language, and also absolutely free.

This is not my first time in Germany and Berlin. But I always like to walk near the Reichstag. The symbol of Germany. A beautiful monumental building. I always remember that our grandfathers planted the victory banner on it.

In general, excellent architectural solutions, a good pitchfork on the neighborhood from the roof.... An interesting decision with the transparency of the parliament session... By the way, registration for visiting the dome is possible - day in and day out ... I did not find any inscriptions of Soviet soldiers left at 45m, perhaps they were painted over or erased

I have never been able to visit him. Sometimes there's a queue, sometimes there's no time. It is monumental, it is a pity that the associations are not peaceful.

To be in Berlin and not "take" the Reichstag? A convenient audio tour combined with panoramic views makes it possible to forget about the tedious waiting in line. There are a lot of people who want to, almost always.

The Reichstag building is the building of the State Assembly. The Reichstag was built according to the design of architect Paul Vallot. Construction began in 1884 under Kaiser Wilhelm 1 and lasted 10 years. Construction was completed under Kaiser Wilhelm 2. The building was equipped with the latest technology of the time. Electric generators, heating with temperature sensors, sewerage, water supply, ventilation system , telephones. All this shows how high the level of technological progress was in Germany at the end of the 19th century. From the year of its foundation to 1933, the German State Council met in the Reichstag. In February 1933, the Reichstag suffered from a fire. The National Socialists accused the Communists of Germany of setting fire to them. Which led to the terror against the Communist Party of Germany. Until 1939, the state body occasionally met in the Reichstag in the rooms that survived the fire. In 1941, anti-aircraft guns were placed on the side towers. The Reichstag turned into a bomb shelter, a hospital and a maternity hospital. During World War II, the Reichstag was a stronghold of Fascism and Nazism. Therefore, in 1945, Soviet troops first of all hoisted Soviet victory banners on the dome of the Reichstag. It symbolized the victory over Nazi Germany. The restoration of the post-war Reichstag dragged on until 1973.The dome of the building was completely restored. Subsequently, the transparent dome became an observation deck for visitors, but due to the increased threat of terrorism, visiting requires permission from the Bundestag. After the reunification of West and East Germany, the government moved to the Reichstag. The majestic building of the 19th century is one of the most beautiful buildings of mankind that have survived to the present day
