After couple of weeks in Berlin, one place which always gives me a sense of awe is the German Federal Chancellery building. It is a building of federal agency serving the executive office of the Chancellor. While the original building was built circa 19th centuries, the new modern version of the building was completed in the year 2001. The magnificent architecture and its colossal size crossing the river somehow made it one of its kinds. Whenever I walk pass through the building I will at least take a moment to take a good view of its grand design. To make it even more dramatic, a lot of sightseeing boats passed through the building under the bridge making the building a captivating sight to just sit and relax watching the scenery.
To add up, next to the German Federal Chancellery building is another mind-blowing architecture; the Reichstag. Full of history, it was also built in the 19th centuries. Since then, it went through ups and downs of being damage in fire and World War 2. Not until German reunification in 1990 the building was refurbished to its current state by world famous architect Norman Foster. Now it is the building of the German parliament.
