T Stands For is hosted by Elizabeth and Bleubeard
Watching a movie set in Berlin reminded me of our breakfast at the Riechstag, German Parliament.
Click here for all the details of this day in Berlin. This will give you the background to the security checks you go through before you can enter the building.
It was constructed to house the Imperial Diet (German: Reichstag) of the German Empire. It was opened in 1894 and housed the Diet until 1933, when it was severely damaged after being set on fire. After World War II, the building fell into disuse; the parliament of the German Democratic Republic (the Volkskammer) met in the Palast der Republik in East Berlin, while the parliament of the Federal Republic of Germany (the Bundestag) met in the Bundeshaus in Bonn.
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 contemporary Bundestag.

ReplyDeleteThe Reichstagsgebäude indeed is very impressive and the views just amazing. Such a difference to the times before the wall came down. Berlin will always have a special place in my heart, not only because my mom is from there. Your breakfast looks delicious, especially the bread.
ReplyDeleteIt is an amazing building indeed and boy, does the food look yummy.!!!
ReplyDeleteYou corrected yourself later, but the first sentence nearly made me drop off my chair laughing. Thank you, also for my craving for yummy food now! (Had Toast Hawaii - but hours ago!).
Looks like an amazing experience. The food looks so pretty and the building sounds like a great place to visit.

ReplyDeleteGreat breakfast! T day visits sure make me hungry! Happy T Day.
ReplyDeleteWe visited Berlin many years ago but the huge queues to get in the Reichstag put us off waiting in the cold! The breakfast looks delicious but quite pricy I thought! Belated happy T day, Chris
