The Reichstag, Berlin Germany

The Reichstag was the location of a pivotal event in world history.  On February 27th, 1933 a (mysterious) fire occurred at the Reichstag which Hitler blamed on the communists.  He then used the event as a rationale to seize power.

The Reichstag was badly bombed during the war but has now been fully restored.  In October of 1990, the reunification of Germany was proclaimed in this building.
