GERMANIA (PAINTING)

''Germania''.

Frankfurt Parliament decorated with the painting in 1848/49 (coloured, contemporary engraving)

'''Germania''' is a painting by Philipp Veit created in March 1848 during the Revolutions of 1848. It was used as an allegoric decoration in the National Assembly in Frankfurt's Paulskirche, where it concealed the organ. It was meant as a symbol of a united democratic Germany and remained a national personification until the end of World War I.
Today ''Germania'' is located in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg.
