Completed in 1894, Berlin’s Reichstag building has witnessed the defining moments of the 20th century: imperial power, political upheaval, near destruction through war, abandonment as a ruin, and its later rediscovery and reinterpretation. Building Democracy explores the building’s complex architectural and social history, tracing how political ideals and changing contexts have shaped its identity over nearly 130 years. Featuring Sebastian Felix Ernst’s drawing series The Reichstag Cycle, alongside archival material and essays, the publication examines the relationship between architecture, power, and democracy, revealing how the building’s transformation reflects Germany’s ongoing political and cultural self-definition.
