The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Museum Island. Berlin’s historic former Royal Quarter on the beautiful boulevard of Unter den Linden, which runs through the island, is home to many museums and galleries.
The island was originally naturally in the Spree river and gradually connected to both river banks with soil and rubble. The original name of this island was Schlossinsel (Palace Island) or simply Insel (Island). In 1537, the Schloßbrücke was made(by which the island connected to the river bank). A new bridge across the Spree was built in 2011. This bridge was destroyed in 1945 during World War II and again in 1996. The island’s name comes from a former toll house that stood on it for more than 200 years – Töpfer-Tor (Tobacconist’s Gate).
Just after the island you get to see the Forum Fridericianum which consists of the State Opera, the Law Faculty of Humboldt University, the main building of Humboldt University, the State Library and the first Catholic Church in Berlin, St. Hedwig’s Cathedral.

The Bundesrat consists of members from each of Germany’s 16 states and meets to discuss legislation that impacts state interests. The Reichstag building is one of Berlin’s most famous landmarks. It was built in 1894 by Paul Wallot and opened in 1897. The Bundesrat, located on Wilhelmstrasse (formerly Leipzigerstrasse), the location where it meets Unter den Linden, was completed in 1877 after Paul Wallot’s death. The dome at the top of the building has been restored several times since its original construction.
