Happy New Year!

Stumled on this one:

GR Episode 19 (154-167) is set during Weimar Republic and more specifically,
according to Weisenburger, around 1929-30. Leni hears Hindenburg addressing
the parliament: "the President, in the middle of asking the Bundestag, with
his familiar clogged and nasal voice, for a giant war appropriation".

Technically, Germany was not a federation (a Bund) at the time. Was
"Bundestag" in use during Weimar Republic?

Just curious!

Michel.
