St. Paul's Church, or Paulskirche, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, is a historically significant building known primarily for its role in the democratic movement. Completed in 1833, it originally served as a Lutheran church but gained prominence in 1848 when it became the seat of the Frankfurt Parliament, the first freely elected German legislative body. The church symbolizes the fight for democracy and national unity in Germany. After suffering extensive damage during World War II, it was rebuilt and now serves as a venue for various events, including ceremonies and exhibitions.
