What city does Bundestag and Reichstag building have in common?
Reichstag building The Reichstag (German: "Reichstagsgebäude" ] ; officially: "Deutscher Bundestag - Plenarbereich Reichstagsgebäude" ] ) is a historic edifice in Berlin, Germany, constructed to house the Imperial Diet (German: "Reichstag"), of the German Empire. It was opened in 1894 and housed the Diet until 1933, when it was severely damaged after being set on fire. After World War II, the building fell into disuse; the parliament of the German Democratic Republic (the "Volkskammer") met in the "Palast der Republik" in East Berlin, while the parliament of the Federal Republic of Germany (the "Bundestag") met in the "Bundeshaus" in Bonn.
Residenz Residenz (] ) is a formal but otherwise obsolete German word for "place of living". It is in particular used to denote the building or town where a sovereign ruler resided, therefore also carrying a similar meaning as the modern expressions "seat of government" or "capital". As there were many sovereign (imperially immediate) rulers in the Holy Roman Empire, ranking from Lord (Herr) to prince elector and king, there are many towns, palaces, and castles in this territory which used to be a Residenz and are partially still so referred to today. The former residenz status of a town is frequently reflected by the architecture of its center. During the baroque period especially, many prestigious buildings were erected, sometimes even new towns were founded. Today former residenz towns mostly still serve as cultural and administrative centers.
