Sitting of the Peace Congress in the Paul's-Kirche, at Frankfort, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Sitting of the Peace Congress in the Paul's-Kirche, at Frankfort, [in Germany], 1850....St. Paul's Church [was] made memorable by the recent meetings of the Frankfort Parliament. It is a handsome circular building, with a gallery supported by marble columns, and was fitted up in its present state for the German Parliament. Behind the President's chair was a large shield blazoned with the German eagle, whilst above the crimson drapery...were three flags, each black, crimson, and gold, the staves surrounded by triumphal wreaths...it was whispered round the place that General Haynau was present. He sat for some time near one of the side doors, listening, apparently, with much attention, but left before the termination of the proceedings. The seats...were, on the present occasion, filled by a numerous company, made up of Germans, Englishmen, Americans, Frenchmen, and Belgians'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic Sitting of the Peace Congress in the Paul's-Kirche, Frankfort, Germany, in 1850. The Paul's Church, a magnificent circular building with marble columns and a crimson-draped gallery, had recently gained notoriety as the venue for the German Parliament. The room was adorned with a large shield bearing the German eagle, and above the crimson drapery hung three flags, each displaying the colors black, crimson, and gold, surrounded by triumphal wreaths. Rumors swirled through the crowd that General Haynau, a prominent Austrian military leader, was in attendance. He sat near one of the side doors, intently listening to the proceedings before departing before their conclusion. The seats were filled with an eclectic mix of Germans, Englishmen, Americans, Frenchmen, and Belgians, all gathered in the hopes of achieving peace in the midst of political turmoil. The Paul's Church, with its grandeur and historical significance, provided the perfect backdrop for this pivotal moment in European history. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when diplomacy and dialogue were the keys to resolving conflict. This powerful image stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of unity and the pursuit of peace among nations.
