Located in Frankfurt am Main, Saint Paul’ church’s construction began in the year 1789 and its oval shaped building was finished between 1829 and 1833. A protestant church, it was of great significance to Germany since it went on to become the seat of the Frankfurt Parliament, which was the very first democratic body of Germany.
The church has a very colourful history. Though constructed originally for religious reasons its centralized dome and large amounts of space and it being a public building, made it perfect for the meeting place of revolutionaries during the revolutions of 1848.
Originally it served as the meeting place of Vorparlament which led to the formation of the National Assembly. This assembly did most of its work in this church and was called Paulskirchenparlament. As the revolutionary movement died, the parliament in this church was dissolved and from the year 1852 the church once again became a religious building.
The church underwent severe damages during the World War II. After the war, it was the first building in the whole of Frankfurt to be reconstructed. Due to shortage of budget the reconstructed church was not as glamorous as the original structure. After the war it began to be used to display various exhibitions.
The annual awarding of the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade during the Frankfurt Book Fair is held here. Also the 150th birthday of the German democratic experience was celebrated in a large fashion here.
The basement currently fulfils the purpose of a display room.

Frankfurt happens to the pride of Europe with its impressive skyline that takes pride in its five structures that are over 200 metres tall. These modern skyscrapers stand out in Frankfurt because the city has low-rise, high-density traditional European architecture and these modern skyscrapers stand out next to them. The Commerzbank Tower is often ranked as one of the best skyscrapers in the world.
You can get a good view of the skyline with the Main river bridges, especially the eastern bridges, and through the right side of the subway which takes you to the city from Frankfurt. Just before the train approaches the Frankfurt central station it enters a big curve, and from here you will have a nice first glance of the skyline.
Among these five skyscrapers of Frankfurt, the Main Tower is the only one that is open to the public. For 5.00 Euro, you can take the elevator to the viewing platform at a height of 200 meters and get a bird’s eye view of Frankfurt. The viewing platform stays closed during severe weather.
Another noticeable building is the hexagonal shaped European Central Bank in downtown Frankfurt which has a big neon color € statue in front of the entrance. It’s not open to the public. The tourists can, however, visit a small gift shop downstairs that sells all the Euro-related memorabilia you want.
The Henninger Turm , located in Sachsenhausen, is a 120m (330 ft) tall grain storage silo tower. Until 2005, it held the position of being the highest silo tower in the world until 2005. The top part used to have rotating restaurants and observation decks, but unfortunately the tower has been closed to the public since 2002.
