You forgot to mention how Hitler hate that front sign entrance, because it’s a symbol of Germany’s democracy.

*well* it is good from a aesthetic point of view, but the thing it represents is not the *greatest* thing.

Good job on videos, keep traveling

in (the US) Washington DC nothing can be built higher as the capitol building. The government is over the people, but in Germany the people are above the government.

I will ask someone "where soviet flag?"

[@liufeng2095]

The interior is total modern, furniture or stuff

*nudge*
"chs" in German is pronounced as "ks".

[@lohphat]

"Fuchs" == "Fuks"
"Reichs" == "Reiks"

[@lohphat]

"Listen to it on Google Translate"
HAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[@schmagges9499]

+lohphat no

[@Cleeves358]

Actually, neither of you is correct: Reichstag is composed of the words "Reich" (realm/empire) and "Tag" (diet/assembly). So both the rules - "st" in the beginning of syllables is pronounced "sht" ; and "chs" at the end of syllables is pronounced "ks" - don't apply: the "s" simply links the two words to a new one. Reich-s-tag [ˈʁaɪçstaːk].

[@NiceButBites]

A "Short history"??...

[@mgerdes255]

I thought the same!

[@osmosico]

soviet was here

[@allanaguirre8134]

if they ever needed to keep a wary eye on their government, it should be now

[@viewer1755]

No, just because they are using it again doesn’t mean they are trying to return to old ways.
History is history, you cannot change the past

[@denizozcelik2766]

Exactly right now!

[@dutyofcall7659]

It's called "Bundestag" since 1949.

[@sazambi]

No, the building is called "Reichstag".

But they're not paying attention to their government; or if they are, they are too afraid to say anything against it.

We do our democracy, you do yours. Take that dumbass ideology of yours to your own voting booth.
