About

The German Cathedral (Deutscher Dom) on Gendarmenmarkt was built between 1702 and 1708 by architect Martin Grünberg. Destroyed in a fire in 1943, the dome was rebuilt in stages between 1982 and 1996, and now houses the permanent exhibition on parliamentary democracy of the German Bundestag. The exhibition ‘Wege - Irrwege - Umwege’ (Roads - Meanderings - Detours) illustrates the historical development of the liberal parliamentary system in Germany on five floors. It focuses in particular on those eras in German history, during which the foundations for political order in the Federal Republic were laid. Displays, documents, photographs and timelines provide an in-depth overview of parliamentary decision-making processes, and the function and methods of representative bodies. Visitors gain valuable insights into the creation, development and work carried out by the political parties in Germany. The Berliner Dom offers tours for school pupils of all ages. Alongside the tour of the dome itself, there are also conducted tours of the crypt, organ and museum. The 90 minute tour costs 35 Euros for groups up to 15 persons, and 60 Euros for groups up to 30 persons. Special conditions apply to groups visiting the dome as part of a religious instruction programme. Prior registration is required in any case. historischeausstellungbundestag [dot] de Free admission The history of parliamentary democracy in a baroque church Gallery with tradition in conceptual international art Russian Art at Gendarmenmarkt An ensemble full of harmony Sanctuary for the Huguenots and a place of remembrance All about the tasty chocolate squares Sweetshop for families with an educational trail.
