Former church building on Frankfurt's Paulsplatz, used as a venue for exhibitions, memorials and meetings

St Paul's Church was built on the foundations of the Barfüßerkirche in Frankfurt's Old Town, which existed until 1786. It served as Frankfurt's main Protestant church until 1944, although it had already gained fame as a meeting place before that. In 1848 and 1849, the Frankfurt National Assembly met in St Paul's Church, which is considered to be Germany's first national assembly.

After an air raid on the city, St Paul's Church burnt down in 1944. The exterior was reconstructed at the end of the 1940s - financed by donations from all over the country. However, the interior of the church was replaced by a hall with a meeting room above and was designed very simply due to the limited financial resources.
