Bundestag is a Berlin U-Bahn station located on the Template:BVG lines line. 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.

History

Spectators seated for an opera performance on 16 November 2008. At that time the station was not served by any line.

Even though construction was completed in 1994,[2] it took over a decade until the subway line U55 went into service in August 2009.[3] 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 the Resident Evil film series,[4] for Æon Flux and for Equilibrium.[5]

From 2009 to early 2020, only the eastern face of the island platform was used for a shuttle service between Hauptbahnhof and Brandenburger Tor. On 4 December 2020 the extended line U5 opened and from this date trains both platforms faces were served by trains.
