Designed in the late 19th century in a neo-Renaissance style and rebuilt in a more streamline style after World War II, it will be designated as the official seat of the German government after the Bundestag officially moves here when restoration is completed, probably at the dawn of the millennium. The Reichstag, despite a rich history that predated the events of 1933, continues to evoke memories of the Nazi period, for in that year, a fire mysteriously broke out in its chambers and nearly destroyed the building. The fire, declared Hitler, had been set by the Communists as an act of revolution, and he asked for dictatorial powers.
