The Paul-Löbe-Haus, which opened in 2001, is a parliament building designed by the Munich architect Stephan Braunfels in the Berlin government district. Together with the Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus and the Federal Chancellery, the building named after the President of the Reichstag, Paul Löbe, forms the "Band des Bundes". This volume is intended to symbolize the symbolic bridging of the once separate halves of the city. Architecture of the Paul-Löbe-Haus Another architectural eye-catcher is the unity of the Paul-Löbe-Haus and the Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus on the other bank of the Spree. This unit is created on the one hand by the matching roof edges of the buildings but also by the bridge that connects the two. Under the monumental canopy of the Paul-Löbe-Haus is the entrance, which leads the visitor directly into a glass hall, which extends through the whole building. This hall is bounded on the left and right by two eight-storey building blocks.
