Let's Explore the Reichstag Building in Berlin - the Heart of German Democracy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- It is the world's most visited parliament building: the Reichstag in Berlin. During a tour, you can even watch German politicians at their work. The first edition of the German Constitution, which turns 75 this year, is also kept in a vault here. And there is a magnificent view of Berlin from the Reichstag's viewing platform. Hannah Hummel shows you how to get into the Reichstag and just how much German history can be found in it.

The dome is Impressive, being transparent, it show the Germans civil sense, of carrying Reichstag work without disturbances
Yeah, it illuminates the chaber below due to the mirror setup, but honestly, you can't see absolutely nothing happening inside the chamber from the rooftop. :-)
It also symbolizes that the people are above the government, not the other way round.
These are all true, but the old dome functioned more harmoniously with the Reichstag than Foster's dome.
I visited the Reichstag in the summer of 84, when the city was still divided, I can remember looking out of a window at the rear of the building and over the wall into the eastern part of the city...where you could see a mound of earth that was all that remained from the Chancellery from WWII . As part of that visit we also went through Checkpoint Charlie to see the Russian memorial at Treptower Park, which was an interesting experience, seeing young Russian soldiers paying their respects. Berlin is an amazing city, one that I would definitely visit again, the "new" Reichstag will certainly be on my list of places to see.
Thanks for the tour it is a most interesting building now, I hope it lasts for the generations to come.
An impressive facility for sure. Incredible history- thank you for a job well done!
I’ve done that tour and as an American I found it to be one of the most amazing places I’ve been blessed to visit because of the contrast between what it once was and what it now stands for in the world. God bless the German people of today.
Well said.
I really enjoyed visiting back in 2019! Thanks for the additional info!
I understand the pride in the design of the building being transparent that the proceedings in the chamber can be seen by all visitors. The Welsh Senedd (Parliament) also has this element and like the Reichstag, can be accessed quite easily by all.
Each tour is different depending on your guide and what's going on, on the day of your visit. Ive been on a group tour that walked across the high-level bridge over the Spree, usually reserved for politicians and staff at the Reichstag
.. LOVE YOU HANNAH!! ..💘 .. from a small and most beautiful Island in the middle of the Caribbean, I SEND YOU MY HEART !! ..💝🌹
Visited the inside of Reichstag back in 2009. Really enjoyed it. Didn't know u could actually go inside. Unfortunately the audioTour was all in German. But we still loved the views from the roof, which was great. Had an amazing time in Berlin, probably my favourite European City I've been too. So much to do there
Great video! I really enjoyed it!!
I would suggest booking a tour of the whole building as you get to lean about German government and actually sit in the galleries of the Parliamentary chamber. Of course afterwards you get to tour the dome as well. And it's all free. A must do if in Berlin.
Most important, beautiful and meaningful at 2:13: Article 1: Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar. Precise translation into English is difficult. - And I'm not German.
That's true!
Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar= Human dignity is inviolable
"The dignity of man (human, individual) is untouchable (by law)".
It's the biggest lie. Germany is not a true democracy
That was a great report. Thanks. Only thing .i wish was discussed was Hindenburg the link between the monarchy and republic.
Impressive architecture and culture.
The charming hannah hummel ❤️🔥
One of your more interesting, and educational for a non-German, videos. Um, how tall was your guide...?
as a german ... and im only 170cm .... i think she's 185cm at least .... sadly xD
🇵🇹👍💚❤️ Berlin, wunderbar 🇩🇪
Foster + Partners did a great job with the dome. It looks modern but grand and not tacked-on.
Yes! Took a picture here too lol! 👌😘
very beautiful
I’m confused. Reichstag? Bundestag? Which name is correct? Or which one is the official name?
Reichstag was the name of the parliament back in the Weimar Republic. Today, just the name of the building is "Reichstag", but because Germany isn´t a "Reich" anymore but a Federal Republic, the name of the parliament is "Bundestag" (Bund is federal state in english). So today the "Bundestag" is having it´s meetings in the "Reichstag"-building :). I don´t know, to be honest, why they didn´t change the name of the building as well. Maybe you can find the reason somewhere online.
@@mitk259but Germany was a federal republic even when it was the Reich Weimer Republic's official name was the German Reich.
The building is called Reichstag, the parliament itself is called Bundestag.
fascinating..
What security is afforded politicians while in session, are tours given at that same time?
Yes, tours are ongoing all the time, regardless if parliament is in session.
You have to pass security checks, similar to checks at airports, before going inside. This is regardless of whether debates are held or not

que hermosa Alemania y su reportera
“There shall be no censorship” hmmmm okay Germany sure
If i go there i will dress as a soldier and I'll bring Soviet Victory flag....
I believe that the building is the reichstag and the actual parliament is called the Bundestag
Correct! 😊
I didn't see this building when I was in East or West Berlin.
The building was right beside the wall and is not too far from the Brandenburger Tor, while it was in West-Berlin it was situated right on the border and therefore likely harder to get to. Furthermore it didn’t serve any purpose at that time and wasn’t in a representable state, so it likely wouldn’t have been recommended to you then
last year I just walked by in the front yard, but I did't know that I can visit, if I knew it was possible I would have definetely visited. I didn't even think about possibility of visiting bcs you know it's a parliament. You can't even see German Consulate in Turkey, even it's hard to get visa appointment from their arranged visa application center. and the visa durations are too short. They give maximum of 3 monhs. We live right next to Europe, even some part of Turkey is located in Europe, but when it comes to visiting, we are having hard times. Now with economic instability things got even harder. Even though we need to plan our trip to Europe at least 6 months prior to visit, EU citizens can come and visit Turkey with their expired ID cards. How fair is this? My advice to EU governments is that, check every document necessary as usual but at least give some people 5 years, 10 years long tourist visa just like USA or Canada. They can do it, why can't you? I very much like European Culture, especially German castles are simply gorgeous, fascinating. I would like to visit them, but not in a rush. East Europe is also beautiful. Italy is wonderful, Netherlands' superb. Sweden's lovely. I have visited more than 15 countries in Europe. I love every bit of it. But with this conditions, it takes so much time, energy, money. It's not feasable in the long run. Please make it easier, at least for the doctors :)
Narrator: It's the most visited parliament in the world.
Russians: We know.
Nice.
I‘m also German and Scottish…I felt alone 😂
Welcome!

Beautiful Germany...love Galigavit...❤😊 Nice Country...2024 2030 Edwin Noria Hernandez
What is that pipe that goes across the front of the Reichstag building? That structure is also in Dresden or Leipzip, it seems unique to Germany
I is a construction side, as mentioned in the video they are building a new visitor center. If there is ground work going on they will temporarily redirect the existing pipes above the ground while building new ones beneath the new building. That is certainly not unique to Germany. ;)
Berlin was build on marshland, so when something is constructed, the water has to be pumped somewhere. These pipes can be seen over the entire city ;)
Protect the democracy! #saynotofacism
Deutschland has got 4 million turkish descendants or turks who never want to leave Germany as they have seen most comfy and luxurious lifestyles in Deutschland, France, milan, venice, lido di jesolo. France has got 1.5 million turks, Britain has got 500.000 turks.
not sure about the most visited parliament building in the world......capital hill and westminster are quite popular
behind every beautiful government building there seems to be a brit.
Do they display the American flags everywhere
That giant eagle is scary
Not sure why they choose to translate it 'basic law', I think fundamental law sounds much better.
I will be there with my BABYGIRL Queen Angela,at least she will see the place again.
Hello. Please, do not use any music we can not concentrate on the video.
Is it just me or I hear a tinge of Scottish accent with her English?
Yes, Hannah is German-Scottish.

-Mustache twitches
I'm not sure I get the point you are making. Are you perhaps (and hopefully) celebrating the Reichstag's return to housing a democratically elected parliament called the Bundestag being not to the liking of a certain infamous dictator? Or, are you making a childish statement and dredging up a dark past that has no connection to the Germany of today?
@@andrewjones-productions really?
I brought my Soviet flag
6 year old with a soviet flag...
I’m Indian I wish to travel to location but they are not possible for me by money 💴 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 when will that day come

Now I feel that this dream of mine can never come true
I love Berlin for its liberalism, vibrant nightlife, cheap(ish) rents, great people... but it's probably no prettier than Birmingham in architectural terms.
0:43 So Ben Franklin only suggested that turkey be the national bird of America, but the germans actually did it, or as they call it, the Fette Henne, LOL

Now you are further away than ever!
Почти 80 лет назад, начав войну вместе с нацистами, вы, по крайней мере, помогли их победить. Сегодня вы пытаетесь победить их в их злодеяниях. Как вам не стыдно.
@@ixiwildflowerixi Вы про тех, кто на площадях орал "Кто не скачет тот москаль" и у кого главный герой батька Бандера? Лучше историю учите

Soviet Flag flying over the reichstag in 1945!
AH, THE USSR, WHICH HELPED TO KILL 100 MILLION PEOPLE WITH COMMUNISM.
Germany has terrible censorship though? 😂😂 1:18
Ich gehe mal davon aus, dass ich mit dir Deutsch reden kann, oder?
Jedenfalls gibt es nicht wirklich Zensur in Deutschland. Wenn etwas gelöscht wird, dann vermutlich weil es gegen den Artikel 1 verstößt, weshalb es also nicht von der Meinungsfreiheit gedeckt ist. Die meisten Menschen, die damit konfrontiert sind, sind aber meist zu dumm um überhaupt zu verstehen, dass Menschenrechte universell sind und beschweren sich dann immer lautstark, dass man kritisiert wird. Meinungsfreiheit heißt, dass erwarten muss, dass wenn man eine kontroverse oder gar herablassende Meinung hat auch auf die Meinungen der anderen und die Kritik stoßen wird.
Soviets
Berlin is really over-valued
Lol. Europe's most beautiful parliament building is palace of Westminster
This building is famous as our Grand Hall of people in Beijing
