Parlamentshistorische Ausstellung des Deutschen Bundestages
The Parlamentshistorische Ausstellung des Deutschen Bundestages occupies the Deutscher Dom at Berlin’s Gendarmenmarkt. Inside, several levels trace the development of parliamentary democracy in Germany through distinct historical periods.
One level examines the emergence of parliamentary systems, while others explore the Kaiserreich, the Weimar Republic and the Federal Republic. Displays also address the Reichstag building and the political order shaped after 1945. Further sections examine the NS state, post-war Germany and the peaceful revolution in the GDR. You can follow how popular representations, parliamentary factions and political parties formed and worked. Cinema and project rooms add space for group visits and selected themes. Guides can present those themes in English or French on request.
The route connects political institutions with the people and movements that changed them. A visit leaves you with the contrast between genuine representation and the GDR’s pseudo-parliamentarism.
