Hi everyone!

Welcome to the first video on my channel. I am showing off a build I worked on around 2019/2020. As of yet it is incomplete at around 70% done.

I used many hundreds of source images from various places on the internet such as google images, Pinterest, Wikipedia, the original plans before the Norman Foster renovations, the Berlin buildings registry, all the tourist pamphlets I could find and more.

Hope you enjoy.

The basic timeline of the Reichstag goes like this (with some important German history thrown in as well):

1) There was a series of three Reichstag buildings originally, with construction on the third and final Reichstag commencing in 1884. Designed by architect Paul Wallot, the newly completed building became the home of the Imperial Diet (‘Reichstag’) or parliament of Germany in 1894. For its time, the new structure was state of the art. It had temperature-controlled central heating, its own electrical power station, telephones, toilets with running water, and double-glazed windows.

2) The German monarchy collapsed at the end of World War One in 1918. With the proclamation of the Weimar Republic in 1919, the Reichstag continued to be used by the lower house of the German parliament.

3) Adolf Hitler became Chancellor on 30 January 1933. A month later, on 27 February, the famous Reichstag fire took place, completely destroying the plenary chamber. The rubber-stamping parliament of the Nazi era moved to the nearby Kroll Opera House, leaving the ruined Reichstag building as a disused shell.

4) The Reichstag became further damaged by heavy allied bombing towards the end of the Second World War. As the Soviets stormed from the east, they took the Reichstag in May 1945 (the bullet holes still visible today), inscribing anti-Nazi and pro-Soviet slogans into the walls (also still visible today).

5) At the conclusion of the war, the heavily damaged Reichstag lay just outside the Soviet-controlled eastern half of Berlin (by only a few metres). In 1961, the Berlin wall was erected right outside the building.

6) The capital of West Germany became Bonn, and consequently, the building was not used for government purposes.

7) in 1955, the Bundestag decided to renovate the building, with reconstruction taking place between 1961 and 1964. After 1971, it was essentially made into a museum.

8) The reunification of Germany occurred on 3 October 1990, with Berlin becoming the capital of the federal republic. Famously, the Reichstag was wrapped as an art piece in 1995 by artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude.

9) The renovations of the Reichstag were completed in 1999. An almost complete interior removal and construction was carried out, with the addition of the iconic glass dome, designed by Sir Norman Foster, the famous British architect.

10) Finally, the Bundestag was able to hold convenings in the newly renovated Reichstag, the first official sitting occurring on 19 April 1999.
