Update Democracy. Following in the Footsteps of the Revolution of 1848 (German-language)

Description
The Revolution of 1848 represents a highly significant milestone on Germany’s road to democracy. The first-ever German national assembly met in Frankfurt on 18th May 1848 and there formed the basis for a democratic constitution. This historic event is about to celebrate its 175th anniversary.
Our specially conceived theme walk takes you to some of the most famous sites of the Revolution of 1848, with St Paul’s Church being at the centre of attention. Known far and wide as “the cradle of German democracy”, St Paul’s Church remains to this day a symbol of freedom and democracy in all of Germany.
Tour locations:
- Römerberg (a place famous for its liberal and democratic history)
