"A red soldier" -- Don't you mean a "Red Army soldier"? "Red soldier" sounds politically incorrect.
Should mention of their use of the Reichstag for their Art Projects be mentioned? I think it is an interesting fact.
I also think it should be added.

I've read an article on the Reichstag and noticed that some wikipedian wrote a passage on the red flag saying it was staged and stuff. I checked with modern Russian sources and they say that the daytime attack on the Reichsag began on April 30, 1945. Indeed, a couple of them say that the attack was unsuccessful, however, most of them say that it did happen and soldiers V.Provotorov and G.Bulatov attached the flag to the pediment at 2:25PM on April 30. Bulatov's awarding ceremony has been documented (order No.0121/н from June 8, 1945). The sources then say that soldiers M.A.Yegorov and M.V.Kantariya placed the flag on the cupola of the Reichstag at 9:50PM on April 30 (looks like a few hours later). Some sources say that by early morning of May 1, the flag had already been there. I just wanted to know your opinion on all of this. KNewman 15:08, Feb 27, 2005 (UTC)
Just removed the name of Mikhail Petrowitsch Minin, seems as if this is unclear who raised the flag. [1] says there a 95 different versions and [2] mentions various some soldiers that claim it was them. - guety is talking english bad 22:37, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
[3] says Meliton Kantaria and Mikhail Yegorov were the ones in the famous Khaldei photo. No general consensus on who first raised the flag, but confirmation on the people in the photo. Note: There were many raisings of the flag, the first was at night. The photo is just a re-raising, like Iwo Jima. In other words, the photo was not the original flag raising.
Also, note, literally speaking, the flag in the photo was not the Flag of the Soviet Union, it was the Victory Banner. - The Red Baron 22:24, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

In front of the Reichstag, to the left of centre as you look at it are three flagpoles. Two of them have the German and European flags, but the one in the middle doesn't have one. You can see photographic evidence of this in Image:Reichstag_pano.jpg. Is a third flag ever flown, and if so, what is it? If not, why are there three poles? 79.68.216.39 ( talk) 16:02, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

When the Cold War emerged, the building was physically within West Berlin, but only a few metres from the border of East Berlin, which ran around the back of the building and in 1961 was closed by the Berlin Wall.
How was it "closed" by the Berlin wall ? To do this the wall would have had to encroach on western territory which it didnt. 86.112.80.224 ( talk) 10:49, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
The border was closed by the Berlin wall, not the building. The pronoun "which" is the subject of both "ran" and "was", and its antecedent is "border". Kelisi ( talk) 18:20, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

When I click the hyperlink embedded in this text I am taken here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism_in_Germany#Landmarks

This seems to be an inconsistency.

I've expanded the Reichstag disambiguation page to include all uses of the word Reichstag for buildings and parliamentary bodies. That way the multiple mastheads and duplicate references in this article on what Reichstag means can be shortened. New articles have been also created for Reichstag (North German Confederation) and Reichstag (Nazi Germany), so I modified a few wikilinks here and there. --- Ultracobalt ( talk) 14:24, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
Since we have a photo of the Soviet graffiti, I added a translation of the following from German Wiki:
There's nothing in this piece about the controversial nature of the Reichstag's mishmash of architectural styles. The German Wiki article quotes Kaiser Wilhelm II, not noted for his tact, as describing the building as "the pinnacle of tastelessness" and "a wholly unsuccessful creation" (Gipfel der Geschmacklosigkeit" und "völlig verunglückte Schöpfung"). However, Wilhelm was known for melodramatic and ill-considered pronouncements, and I don't think he's a good source. Someone with more knowledge of this architectural topic could add a paragraph. I think it would be worth doing since the building is such a widely known and much-visited site.
More pics would help, particularly one from the Cold War period when the building, partially restored, was open to the public. I went through it in 1971 and found it very interesting. At that time, no Soviet graffiti were in sight.

Someone should add a sub section about how the building runs on bio fuel and stores excess heat in water reservoirs to heat the building at night
"The building provides a model for sustainability by burning renewable bio-fuel - refined vegetable oil − in a cogenerator to produce electricity: a system that is far cleaner than burning fossil fuels. The result is a 94 per cent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.
Surplus heat is stored as hot water in an aquifer deep below ground and can be pumped up to heat the building or to drive an absorption cooling plant to produce chilled water. Significantly, the building's energy requirements are modest enough to allow it to produce more energy than it consumes and to perform as a mini power station in the new government quarter." from the projects official page on Fosters website linked below see:- [ http://www.fosterandpartners.com/projects/reichstag-new-german-parliament/ this Vivosims ( talk) 02:19, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello!
I was invited to make a note here on the talk-page.
Basically, as you may see [5], I propose a better quality foto of raising a Victory flag over the Reichstag in 1945.
This foto represents an effective end of World War II - the Victory of the Soviet Red Army in the World War II and the ultimate capturing of Berlin (Nazi capital) by Soviet Red Army in 1945.
