Der Bevölkerung, Installation artwork in Germany
Der Bevölkerung is a controversial installation artwork located in the northern courtyard of the Reichstag building.
This piece was created by Hans Haacke in 2000 amid public debate and parliamentary decision.
Its title, meaning 'To the Population,' invites reflection on the concept of nationhood and the diversity of the German populace.
Visitors can view the installation while attending tours of the Reichstag when the parliament is not in session.
Legislators are encouraged to bring soil from their constituencies, symbolically linking the land they represent to the artwork.
