What to expect
Frankfurt is commonly described as the birthplace of German democracy. In the wake of the French revolution of 1848, which sparked numerous revolts in the German Federation, the majority of German principalities either relinquished power or offered to share it with elected representatives of the people. A coordinating central body, the "Nationalversammlung“ (national assembly), convened in the former St. Paul's church in Frankfurt and succeeded in passing a common constitution before the movement lost momentum. A year later, most princes had reestablished themselves in power using military force, and democracy was put on hold until the foundation of the Weimar Republic in 1918. Nevertheless, this national assembly and its constitution are considered the cornerstones of democratic Germany. The "Paulskirche“ is a memorial to this early democracy, the blossoming and collapse of which is illustrated during a guided tour.
