The building, which does not look like a temple and performs completely non-religious functions, stubbornly continues to be called the church .Of course, we are talking about St. . Paul's Cathedral, which is in Frankfurt am Main . The place is in many respects cult for the city's inhabitants, because it was she who for a hundred years was the main Lutheran church in the city . Here there was no time the first Parliament met, delivered a speech by John Kennedy, and more recently, every year, the World Book Award was awarded to German booksellers . In short, this is a round red building with a high square tower - a symbol of German democracy and unity of the nation, to be called t As well as almost 190 years ago, that is the church St. . Paul .

The church of St. Paul (Paulskirche) was erected for a very long time, more than 40 years, although it does not differ by what size. Construction began in 1789 ,. but the ending is already on 1833. Originally, by the way, on this place there was a medieval church that was demolished in 1786

One of the most important pages in the history of the church of St. Paul happened in 1848-49, when in the walls of the temple members of the Frankfurt National Assembly met. It was Germany's first parliament, elected democratically, which even passed the constitution.

Alas, during the Second world after a heavy bombing on March 18, 1944, the church burned down, like much in Frankfurt . But fortunately, thanks to its rich history and landmark events, the church decided to reconstruct it, turning it into a cultural center . And they did not delay the restoration to restore beautiful opening ceremony on a beautiful date : on the day of the 100th anniversary of the Frankfurt National Assembly, which just happened on May 18, 1948 . The former temple was opened under the new name "Haus aller Deutscher" . From that moment its walls were not only taken under the protection of the state, but recognized as a national monument .
