Demolished treasures from East Germany

Palace of the Republic

Starting in 1976, the Palace of the Republic housed the East German parliament, the Volkskammer, and also served as a public venue for cultural events. In 2003, the German Bundestag approved the demolition of the building - following its asbestos decontamination. 880 petitions against tearing down the Palace of the Republic were submitted to parliament; all of them were rejected. Nevertheless, the basement was preserved and is to be incorporated into the next structure built on the site.
