Which symbol can be seen in the plenary chamber of the German Bundestag?

Photograph of a large semicircular, tiered plenary chamber with rows of seats, a lectern and the government bench. A large stylised eagle hangs on the end wall.

Why — for every option

  1. A — Correct: above the seating rows in the plenary chamber of the Reichstag building, the stylised federal eagle is mounted, the emblem of the Federal Republic.
  2. B — Berlin's state flag (a bear on a white and red background) is not the symbol displayed in the Bundestag's plenary chamber.
  3. C — "Reichsadler" is a historical term for earlier forms (Empire, Weimar Republic, Nazi era); today's symbol in the Bundestag is the democratic federal eagle of the post-war period.
  4. D — An imperial crown does not hang in the plenary chamber; it is a historical coronation insignia, not a symbol of the Federal Republic.
