General info: 

Berlin allows you to step into the past by visiting various buildings used during crucial times in history. One of them is the Reichstag building, a historical edifice constructed to house the Imperial Diet of the German Empire. It fell into disuse after World War II but with time it became a touristic attraction and remembrance of a past empire.

The Dome of the Reichstag building:
Besides its very important historical value, the construction offers a very unique experience to the contemporary visitor. The large glass dome at the very top of the Reichstag building has a 360-degree view of the surrounding Berlin cityscape whilst a large sun shield tracks the movement of the sun electronically. At the same time it blocks direct sunlight which would not only cause large solar gain, but dazzle those below.
