The historic building on Leipziger Strasse was erected from 1899 to
1904 according to plans by the architect Friedrich Schulze-Kolbitz as
the seat of the Upper House of the Prussian Landtag, or Regional
Parliament, called the Herrenhaus, or House of Lords. From 1955 its
middle section and west wing were used by the GDR Academy of Sciences.
One of the special qualities of the Herrenhaus, i.e. the clear daylit
interior routes along the axis composed of the entrance hall (court of
honour) via the concourse to the plenary chamber, as well as the
functional system of room sequences and accesses were restored. |

The plenary chamber of the Herrenhaus was a closed, 'introvert' hall
and thus the expression of an elitist political order. The redesign of
the Bundesrat
including large openings in the enclosing walls and a transparent
ceiling responds to the democratic nature of the present system. The
modular glass ceiling directs and controls daylight incidence. An
exterior solar panel system produces electricity and at the same time
functions as a movable awning which follows the sun.
