Reichstag
The Reichstag was the elected Assembly in Germany prior to the Nazi takeover. Originally, it had a minor political role, but after the downfall of the Kaiser (the monarch) at the end of World War I, it took over the role of making laws. After the Nazis rise to power, a number of laws were passed via the Reichstag which cut it off from making many important decisions. The Reichstag is also the name of the building where the assembly met. The building was badly damaged by a fire in 1933, then by air raids in World War II. During the Cold War, the West German government set up a government in Bonn with the Bundestag replacing the Reichstag. After reunification, the Bundestag moved back into the Reichstag building in Berlin, which was restored.

It came under West Berlin, but the West German government was set up in Bonn, with a new assembly called the Bundestag. During the 1960s, the Reichstag building was repaired but the dome wasn't replaced. After reunification, the building was restored again, with a new glass dome being installed. The Bundestag moved into the building, and it is now the most popular tourist attraction in the city.
