Reichstag building
for a triumphant fi nish to the boulevard Unter den Linden. Built in 1791, the city gate came to symbolise the end of division. Another imposing building with a turbulent history is the grand Reichstag (German Parlia-
ment). Erected in the late 19th century, and severely damaged in World War II, it was converted into a modern parliamentary complex with a world-famous glass dome by Sir Norman Foster in the 1990s. It is surrounded by the glass and steel of the New Government District, which includes the Kanzleramt (German Federal Chancellery), as well as the Paul-Löbe-Haus and the architecturally striking Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus.
