Here, for example, there is a bar fixed above the passage. Its functional purpose is though unclear. | A passage in Reichstag - the main building, where the sessions room is. | Stairs. |

A full of sense painting in the lobby next to the session room. There is fire and a backbone on it. The fire sybmolizes setting fire on the Parliament by the Nazis, which meant breaking the backbond of the German democracy.

| A group of pupils near the sessions room. | Seats in the sessions room. They say there is a parent for the color of these chairs, thus the color cannot be used by anyone else. | There is a strange thing right under the room's ceiling. Looks like a space energy concentrator. Its sharp end is directed to the tribune, so we can assume it would strike anyone who lies standing there. | This floor over the sessions room hosts information stands of different fractions. This one belongs to FDP. |
