Which symbol can be seen in the plenary chamber of the German Bundestag?
- the federal eagle Correct
- the flag of the city of Berlin
- the imperial eagle
- the imperial crown
Why — for every option
- 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.
- B — Berlin's state flag (a bear on a white and red background) is not the symbol displayed in the Bundestag's plenary chamber.
- 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.
- D — An imperial crown does not hang in the plenary chamber; it is a historical coronation insignia, not a symbol of the Federal Republic.
