National Assembly

The National Assembly in Frankfurt am Main is a historic place that plays a central role in German history. The first freely elected national assembly was convened here in 1848 to draw up a constitution for a united Germany. Visit the Paulskirche, which served as the seat of the National Assembly, and discover the exciting story behind the aspirations for democracy and nationhood.

The architecture of the Paulskirche itself is also worth a visit, as it was built in the classicist style and contains many symbolic elements. You can also learn more about the events of the revolution of 1848 and their impact on German history in the integrated exhibition.

Another highlight is the view from the gallery, which offers you a special view of the historical events in this important memorial site. A visit to the National Assembly is worthwhile to better understand the roots of German democracy.
