- A the Federal Eagle ✓ Correct answer
- B the flag of the city of Berlin
- C the Imperial Eagle
- D the Imperial Crown
Explanation
The German Bundestag plenary hall features the Federal Eagle (Bundesadler) as the national symbol of the Federal Republic of Germany. This eagle appears on the wall behind the speaker's podium and represents the sovereignty of the German state. The Reichsadler refers to imperial-era symbols, while city flags and crowns are not used as federal symbols in the parliament.
Tips
- Look for the national symbol of the Federal Republic of Germany, which is the eagle.
- Remember that the Bundestag is the federal parliament, so it displays federal symbols, not city or imperial symbols.
- The Bundesadler is the modern, stylized eagle used since 1949.
- Eliminate options that refer to historical imperial symbols (Reichsadler, Reichskrone) or local symbols (city flag).
