St. Paul's Church, Frankfurt am Main

The neoclassical building features an elliptical central design constructed from red sandstone, with a height of 55 meters in the Altstadt district.

The National Assembly gathered here in 1848 to draft Germany's first democratic constitution, establishing the foundation for modern German parliamentary democracy.

The permanent exhibition presents the development of German democracy through historical documents, photographs, and multimedia installations in multiple exhibition rooms.

The church opens daily from 10:00 to 17:00, offering guided tours in eight languages, with advance reservations required through Frankfurt's Protocol Department.

The basement contains a large mural titled 'The Path of the Representatives to St. Paul's Church' created by Johannes Grützke in 1991.
