Christo and Jeanne-Claude were an artist couple who became known in the 1960s, especially for their jointly realized spectacular wrapping projects.
Jeanne-Claude and Christo had to work for 23 years before they were able to wrap the Reichstag building in Berlin.
On February 25, 1994, after a lengthy and at times very emotional debate, the German Bundestag voted by roll call on the project and approved it. More than 100,000 m² of fireproof polypropylene fabric, coated with an aluminum layer, and 15,600 m of rope were now required. The covering began on June 17, 1995 and was completed on June 24. 90 professional climbers and many other helpers took part in the assembly. The dismantling took place on July 7. During the event, five million visitors attended the project.
