The Reichstag's building, originally built in 1894 in the center
of Berlin as Parliament of the German Empire, was rebuilt in 1999
following the move of the Federal Capital from Bonn to Berlin for
the Lower Houses of Parliament (Parliament of the Federal Republic
of Germany).
The Reichstag's building has once again become the German political
center and is, at the same time, one of the most important sights
in Berlin. Its value is now greater than before.
On the days where the parliamentary sittings do not take place,
many tourists visit the Reichstag's building and can travel in the
Fujitec elevators directly to the roof story, to either the bistro
or the glass dome on top of the building, from which one can overlook
the whole of Berlin's center.
In total, FUJITEC has installed 22 elevators, including 6 panoramic
gearless elevators, as well as 1 complete glass panorama hydraulic
elevator.
Among these, the 2 gearless elevators have a carrying capacity of
4500 kg (96 mpm) to transport thousands of visitors daily.
