Additional information

The Prussian Manor, built between 1899 and 1904, initially housed the First Chamber of the Prussian Parliament. From 1921 to 1933 the Prussian State Council met in the building, and in 1935 the Prussian House Foundation, which was affiliated to the Reich Aviation Ministry, rededicated it to the "House of Aviators". After 1946 it was used by the Academy of Sciences of the GDR. Since 2000, the building has served as the seat of the Bundesrat, which was constituted in 1949.
