The building complex was built from 1893 to 1895 under the direction of the secret senior building officer Bernhardt and the architect Wiezcorek in the street called Kaiserallee at the time . It served as the administration building for the Royal Prussian Artillery Examination Commission . After partial destruction in the Second World War , it was rebuilt and on April 17, 1950, it was inaugurated as a parliament building by Chancellor Konrad Adenauer . On July 18, 1950, Kaiserallee was renamed Bundesallee to emphasize Berlin's ties with the Federal Republic of Germany . West Berlin had a special status at that time. From 1950 to 1990 the building was the office of the representative of the federal government in Berlin. The first session of the Federal Cabinet in Berlin took place on October 11, 1956 in the Bundeshaus , followed by another on October 1, 1958, October 7, 1964, January 13, 1965, April 26, 1966, March 8, 1967 and March 6 and October 29, 1968 followed. After the German reunification , the Federal Public Prosecutor at the Federal Administrative Court had his seat here until 2002 .

Even today, the house unites various federal institutions under one roof. A branch of the Federal Academy for Public Administration is located here . Since January 23, 2005, the Federal Government's Coordination and Advice Center for Information Technology in the Federal Administration (KBSt) has its Berlin office in the Bundestag building . A branch of the Federal Ministry of the Interior also operates here. Since June 2015 the secretariat of the Minority Council has also had its seat in the Federal Palace.
