Deutschhaus Mainz, Baroque palace and parliament in Mainz, Germany
The Deutschhaus features a central court flanked by two pavilions, with one containing a chapel decorated with frescoes by Christoph Thomas Scheffler.
The palace, constructed between 1729 and 1740, served as a secondary residence for Francis Louis of Neuburg, the Prince-elector and Archbishop of Mainz.
The building marks the location where Andreas Joseph Hofmann declared the Rhenish-German Free State in 1793, establishing the first democratic parliament in Germany.
The Deutschhaus currently functions as the seat of the Rhineland-Palatinate State Parliament, following an extensive renovation completed in September 2021.
Napoleon Bonaparte and Empress Josephine resided in this palace during 1806-1807, hosting numerous princes of the Holy Roman Empire before his coronation.
