| Description |
|
The Jakob Kaiser Haus is part
of the complex arranged around the old
Reichstag. It is in fact two
buildings connected by bridges that
cross Dorotheenstrasse. The Jakob
Kaiser 2 building (see above), located
beside the River Spree, is the newest
part having opened in 2002. It was
designed by the architectural practice
of Schweger + Partner who say of it
that, "It provides
access to all the spaces that are of
central importance to Bundestag
members, i.e. the rooms for
parliamentary group sessions and their
lobbies, the cafeteria, the press
centre and the access for media
representatives. The ground floor is
also the main public area including
light-flooded concourses with visual
relationships to the outdoors.    A broad central underpass connects the northern and southern blocks on both sides of Clara-Zetkin-Strasse". A tunnel also connects the building to the Reichstag.  |
