The German parliament.

The Bundestag is the German parliament.

History

From 1871 until 1945 the German parliament was called the Reichstag. Since 1999, the parliament is again housed in the Reichstag building in Berlin. From [[1949] the West German Bundetag - which saw itself as the Bundestag for all Germany - was seated in Bonn. The East German parliament was seated in the Palace of the Republic building in East Berlin. In 2006 the building was torn down under the pretext of "health and safety".

Membership

Reichstag fire

Full article: Reichstag Fire

A fire in 1933 created the pretext for Hitler obtaining emergency powers which would not end until 1945.

"Our alumni...helping us to achieve our overall policy goals"

In a 2013 internal document, the US State Department boasted that:

The newly-elected German Bundestag convened last week and of its 631 members, 64 are alumni of US Government funded exchanges. Several of these alumni are prominent members of their political parties and are expected to play an important role in the next cabinet. Our alumni represent all four political parties and include current cabinet members Peter Altmaier (CDU, Minister of Environment) and Hans-Peter Friedrich (CSU, Minister of Interior). Otherprominent figures are SPD Chancellor candidate Peer Steinbrück, SPD Party Chair Sigmar Gabriel, SPD Parliamentary Whip Thomas Oppermann, and SPD Secretary General Andrea Nahles. Further alumni may be appointed to prominent non-cabinet posts once coalition talks conclude. Most are alumni of the International Visitor Leadership Program, which identifies up and coming leaders. In addition, several other exchange programs are represented, including Fulbright, USEU/NATO tour participants, and for the first time, the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange (CBYX) program[...] helping us to achieve our overall policy goals. The impact of these programs is underscored when alumni continue their upward rise, achieving elected office or other prominent positions.

Change in the security situation

It was reported in 2019 that the area is to be fitted with a dry trench in a substantial anti-terror reinforcement of the German parliament. Possibly in anticipation of a situation that is not unlike that in Belgium / Brussels for the last decade.

The Storming of the Reichstag

Full article: “The Storming of the Reichstag”

In a highly unusual decision given the chance for an incident, the Berlin police allowed a right wing group to gather on the steps of the Reichstag. Despite encouragement from agitators, the crowd did not storm the building.

In 2020, the deep state attempted to entrap a small right-wing group into "storming" the building. The entrapment was part of a wider effort to discredit all Covid dissidents.
