Paulsplatz

To the north is Berlin Street, east is the new Kräme (built 1900–08), to the northwest is the Old Town Hall and to the south are Bethmannstraße and Braubachstraße.

Dominating Paulsplatz is the classical-style St Paul's Church (1789–1833), the meeting place of the Frankfurt National Assembly of 1848.

There are various street festivals that take place in the square during the summer, as well as the Frankfurt Christmas Market in late November and December.

To the west, east, and north of St Paul's Church, the building was surrounded by a dense development.

In their place, a block was built between Neue Kräme and St Paul's Church, located on the northern side.

In 1879, the Frankfurt Chamber of Commerce supported the Stock Exchange, a new building that still called New Market in the New Town.

The Commission appointed by the city council selected the design of the architect Fritz Hessemer and the sculptor Hugo Kaufmann.

On top of a four-stage base of travertine stone is a three-sided obelisk made of the same material, crowned by an allegorical bronze figure.

The next group consisted of an allegorical alma mater, which satisfies the thirst for knowledge of a young man by giving him a drink from a cup.

The third group, the song of freedom, presented two men, the elder with a lyre and a youth with a sword, a representation allowing the role of music to be appreciated.

Contemporary reviewers describe the female figure, with the words "Stand Together", as Clio, the muse of epic poetry, but also as Germania.
