About the artwork
Dome of the German Reichstag,
Close-up inside the dome of the German Reichstag,
The Reichstag building (Reichstag for short; officially the plenary area of the Reichstag building) on Platz der Republik in Berlin has been the seat of the German Bundestag since 1999. The Federal Assembly has met here since 1994 to elect the German Federal President.
The retrofitted dome has become a much-visited attraction and a Berlin landmark. Registered visitors can enter the building through the west portal.
After a security check, they can take a lift up to the 24-metre-high accessible roof. The dome is in the shape of a half ellipsoid of revolution with a diameter of 38 metres and a height of 23.5 metres. Its steel skeleton consists of 24 vertical ribs at intervals of 15° and 17 horizontal rings at intervals of 1.65 m with a mass of around 800 tonnes, clad with 3000 m² of glass with a mass of around 240 tonnes. On the inside, two spiral ramps, around 1.8 metres wide and offset by 180°, each 230 metres long, wind their way up to a viewing platform - 40 metres above ground level - and back down again in the opposite direction to the roof terrace. The top of the dome is 47 metres above ground level.
Until November 2010, when the dome was freely accessible, an average of 8,000 visitors were counted every day.
