As you climb the dome of the Reichstag, you circle a cone of mirrors that point down, directing your vision toward where legislators gather.

Visitors ascending the dome of the Reichstag walk around a cone of mirrors. These mirrors are specifically angled downward, which directs the observer's vision toward the area where legislators gather. This architectural feature allows people climbing the structure to look directly down into the legislative space. The design integrates a unique visual link between the public visiting the dome and the political activities occurring within the chamber below in the Reichstag building.
