Bundestag (Berlin U-Bahn)
Bundestag is a Berlin U-Bahn station located on the U55. The name of this station was changed in April 2006 from Reichstag to Bundestag after deputations from the Bundestag which sits in the Reichstag building.
[edit] History
Even though construction was completed in 1994,[1] it took over a decade until the subway line U55 went into service in August 2009.[2] In the intervening period, the partially completed station with its high ceiling and unusual architecture served as a location for cultural events like performances of the opera The Magic Flute and saw use as a film set for Resident Evil[3] and Æon Flux. Currently, only one platform is open. If the line is expanded to Alexander Platz, the other platform will open.
