Reichstag
The Reichstag building is a historical edifice in Berlin, Germany, constructed to house the Imperial Diet, of the German Empire. It was opened in 1894 and housed the Diet until 1933, when it was severely damaged after it was set on fire. Wikipedia
The ruined building was made safe against the elements and partially refurbished in the 1960s, but no attempt at full restoration was made until after German reunification on 3 October 1990, when it underwent a reconstruction led by architect Norman Foster. After its completion in 1999, it once again became the meeting place of the German parliament: the modern Bundestag.

Tickets are available to visit the dome. There is also a restaurant there.

Statue of Frederick the Great This impressive and masterly work was erected in 1851 at one end of Linden Strasse and is probably the grandest monument of its kind in Europe. The great king is representd on horse back with his coronation robes and specter. The pedestal is divided into four sections. The upper one contains figures and scenes from Frederick's life with the figures of Moderation, Justine, Wisdom and Strength at the corners. The second section contains figures of the king's officers and the lower section the names of other distinguished men.
