Deutsche Schule Pretoria
The Deutsche Internationale Schule Pretoria (DSP) is a German and English-medium school in The Willows, Pretoria, South Africa. History The DSP was founded in December 1899, with the first school building officially opened in 1900. 1924 saw the school move to bigger premises in the Pretoria city centre. In 1965, the DSP had 16 teachers and 399 learners from pre-school to Grade 7. Until 1967, the DSP was a primary school only. In 1968 a Grade 8 class was started, followed by a Grade 9 class in 1969 and so on, until the DSP sat its first Matric class for school-leaving exams in 1972. With the school growing too small for its Pretoria city centre facilities, DSP’s current property was purchased in 1969. Construction of the new school began in 1975 and the DSP moved officially in 1977. In 1985 the DSP Kindergarten was opened, while in 2013 the school opened a crèche, for children from 3 months of age. In 1988 the DSP launched an outreach “Education Builds Bridges,” aimed ...

Bundestag
The Bundestag (, "Federal Diet") is the German federal parliament. It is the only federal representative body that is directly elected by the German people. It is comparable to the United States House of Representatives or the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. The Bundestag was established by Title III of the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany (, ) in 1949 as one of the legislative bodies of Germany and thus it is the historical successor to the earlier Reichstag. The members of the Bundestag are representatives of the German people as a whole, are not bound by any orders or instructions and are only accountable to their electorate. The minimum legal number of members of the Bundestag (german: link=no, Mitglieder des Bundestages) is 598; however, due to the system of overhang and leveling seats the current 20th Bundestag has a total of 736 members, making it the largest Bundestag to date and the largest freely elected national parliamentary chamber in the wo ...
