The Paulskirche in Frankfurt am Main is a former church building used as an exhibition, memorial and meeting place. It was built between 1789 and 1833 on the site of the medieval Barfüßerkirche, which was demolished in 1786, and served as Frankfurt's main Evangelical Lutheran church until 1944, which is now the Katharinenkirche. 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. From this most important epoch for St. Paul's Church and the history of German democracy, however, there is almost nothing left of the interior decoration.
