Our lecture today focused on the Health Care System in Germany and its impact on the German economy. Students were introduced to Germany’s social system of healthcare. The lecture prompted much conversation with Dr. Klaus-Dirk Henke.
As we continue to explore Berlin, we were able to visit the
Reichstag (German Parliament building) in the afternoon where the governmental structure was highlighted. We received a tour of the building and learned about its reconstruction after a suspicious fire in 1933 and its restoration from WWII damage in the 1960's WWII. Although restored, the building was not used again to house the governmental processes until after the re-unification of Germany in 1990. After its completion in 1999, it became the meeting place of the modern German parliament, the Bundestag. The tour ended on the roof top of the building in the Reichstag Dome, designed by Architect
Norman Foster offering picturesque views of Berlin.
