St. Paul's Church
Paulsplatz 11, 60311 Frankfurt am Main
Circular neoclassical hall where Germany's first free parliament met, rebuilt from ruin as a monument to democracy.
This guide to St. Paul's Church in Frankfurt opens with John F. Kennedy calling the room the cradle of German democracy, then rewinds to May 1848, when some six hundred delegates with no army or treasury gathered here as Germany's first freely elected parliament to spend ten months drafting a constitution granting basic rights to every German. Prussia's king Frederick William the Fourth had his own answer when the delegates offered him the crown.
