The Reichstag building is a wonderful mixture of old and modern, situated in the heart of Berlin. It has survived having been burned down, looted, and then being (mostly) abandoned for decades. This is where the German parliament met from 1893 to 1933. Having been damaged by a fire in 1933 it stood mostly empty for six decades. After the reunification of Germany in 1990 the building was thoroughly reconstructed under the direction of British architect Norman Foster. Since 1999 it serves once again as the seat of Germany's parliament.
