5. St. Paul's Church
The Paulskirche in Frankfurt am Main is a former church building used as an exhibition, memorial and meeting place.

From 1848 to 1849, the delegates of the Frankfurt National Assembly, the first parliament for the whole of Germany, met in the classicist rotunda by the architect Johann Friedrich Christian Hess. St. Paul's Church, along with Hambach Castle, is thus considered a symbol of the democratic movement in Germany and a national symbol.
