Scenarios about 'reichstag'

The Reichstag refers to both the historical German parliament and its iconic building in Berlin, serving as the legislative body from the German Empire through the Weimar Republic. The building gained particular significance after its 1933 fire, which the Nazis used as a pretext to suspend civil liberties, and later became a powerful symbol of German reunification following its reconstruction after 1990. In alternate history scenarios, the Reichstag often represents pivotal moments in German political development, with timelines exploring outcomes had the fire never occurred or had different political forces controlled this center of German governance.
