Paulskirche is a significant building when it comes to German politics. Built in 1789 as a Protestant church, it became the seat of the Frankfurt Parliament from 1848 to 1849; the National Assembly worked on a constitution for a united Germany here. The constitution never happened, but after Paulskirche was destroyed in WWII, it was the first building to be rebuilt post-war as a tribute to its symbolic place in the country's democratic history.
