What you'll see
Attraction stop (10 mins)
St. Paul's Church is usually only visited from the outside. An independent tour of the interior is recommended after the guided tour. St. Paul's Church in Frankfurt am Main is an important historical building that was built between 1789 and 1833. It served as the main church of the Evangelical Lutheran community and in 1848 became the meeting place of the Frankfurt National Assembly, the first freely elected parliament in Germany. Paulskirche was destroyed during the Second World War and rebuilt in 1948 as Frankfurt's first historic building1. Today it is used as an exhibition, memorial and meeting place and is a symbol of the German democracy movement. St. Paul's Church is particularly well known for the annual awarding of the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade.

Tour of the inner courtyard of the Römer between the Bürgersaal building and the south building. History of the cider. The Römer is a historic town hall complex in the old town of Frankfurt am Main and one of the city's most famous landmarks. It has served as the town hall since 1405 and consists of several interconnected buildings that have been extended over the centuries. The characteristic stepped gable façade is particularly striking and characterizes the image of the Römerberg. The Kaisersaal inside the Römer was once the venue for the coronation ceremonies of the Roman-German emperors. Today, the Römer is used for official events and receptions and is a popular destination for tourists.
