The architects were responsible for the reconstruction of Charles Barry and Augustus Pugin.

It was constructed around 1735 and has already served under King Friedrich Wilhelm I as a training ground for the Prussian soldiers, he was called "parade ground in front of the Brandenburger Tor". It was designed in 1867 as a town square and now called the Royal Palace. Before 1884 to 1894 the Reichstag building was erected in its place stood the palace of the Prussian Count Atanazy Raczyński.

By the architect Paul Wallot from 1884 to 1894, built in neo-Renaissance Reichstag, which was until 1918 the Reichstag of the German Empire and then housed the parliament of the Weimar Republic, was badly damaged by the Reichstag fire of 1933 and by the effects of the Second World War.

Location

The two Egyptian rock temples, the Pharaoh Ramses II was built on the western bank of the Nile between the first and second cataract, should demonstrate to the southern boundary of the Pharaohs, the eternal power and superiority over the Egyptian Nubia tributary.

Panoramas on the left is the Great Temple of Ramses II (1279 BC-1213 BC) to see. He is the kingdom of gods Amun-Re (south), Horus of Mehu, the deified Ramses and Ptah himself ordained. The mountainside is used as pylon (gates). The data on the dimensions of the temple facade vary between 30 and 35 meters. The four giant colossal statues represent Ramses II and is 22 meters high. The two northern bear the inscription: "Ramses, the beloved of Amun" and "Ramses, the beloved of Atum," the southern statues "Ramses, Sun of Rulers" and "Ramesses, Ruler of the two countries." The sun god Ra appears out front in the middle of the temple facade, provided with the solar disk attributes (Re), WSR-sign in the right and left in the figure of Maat. These symbols can be read as a throne name of Ramses II, "User-Maat-Re", which the king was the incarnation of Ra, the "Great Soul of Re-Harakhti" is.

The small statues from the colossal statues represent family members: his mother Tuya, Queen Nefertari and some common children.

The upper end of the temple facade is a frieze of baboons, monkeys, or the so-called sun sacred monkeys. This frieze was to draw attention to the 1813 Basel Jean Louis Burckhardt on the otherwise totally silted temple entrance. The frieze is the first part of the temple of the rising of the sun is enlightened.

The somewhat smaller temple on the right side is Nefertari, Great Royal Wife of the deified Ramses, Nefertari and the goddess Hathor at Ibschek. This temple is hammered into the rock. The figures carved from the rock show twice each Nefertari, Ramses and Hathor, all of about ten meters high and are in the same size. This presents a special award for Nefertari, as the wives of kings were often shown small (as in the Great Temple of Abu Simbel).

The temple leads 21 meters deep into the solid rock. Behind the entrance is a six-pillared hall, cross hall with two adjoining rooms and the sanctuary. Nefertari is addressed here as an incarnation of the goddess Hathor, which is comparable with the representations of Hatshepsut in her temple at Deir el-Bahari. The reliefs show coronation scenes and the protection of the queen by goddess of love and fertility.

The pictures were taken already in June 2005. They consist of six photos taken without a tripod. The total resolution of the panorama is approximately 15 megapixels.
