The parliament is a political newspaper that was published from 1951 to 2000 by the Federal Agency for Political Education and has been published by the German Bundestag since January 1, 2001 . It appears on Mondays after the plenary weeks of the Bundestag and on individual Mondays during the time when there are no sessions.

content

The focus of the newspaper is on German domestic politics . Around a quarter of the editions deal only with one main topic (dossier). The remaining part deals with various current socio-political and historical topics that are related to the work of the Bundestag and the history of the Federal Republic of Germany (e.g. 2014: 100 years of the First World War ). Book reviews are also regularly published there. In addition, the Bundestag debates are comprehensively documented by reproducing the mostly slightly abbreviated speeches by members of the Bundestag.

editorial staff

The members of the editorial team of Das Parlament are administrative employees or civil servants of the Bundestag administration and in the press center ( press and communication area ) are assigned to the Bundestag President .

Frequency of publication

Each issue of the newspaper appears with the supplement Aus Politik und Zeitgeschichte (APuZ) , which continues to be published by the Federal Agency for Civic Education and which deals with a general topic.

The article texts are available on the website and an archive of the texts can be searched. In addition, a fully-fledged electronic version has been offered there since autumn 2011 . The publication as a print medium will continue to exist.
