Berlin’s Reichstag

* Thanks for your interesting and informative April 17 editorial on the reopening of the Reichstag building. Like many others, I appreciate the way that Sir Norman Foster’s design combines an honest look at the past with a potent symbol of the future.

For those interested, the Web site https://www.cityscope.de/ (select Spreebogen) has daily photos of the construction work on the new government quarter, including the Reichstag. A small error of fact in the editorial: Otto-Grotewohl Strasse (named for an East German Communist leader) has been renamed back to Wilhelmstrasse.
