The Frankfurter Wachensturm on 3 April 1833 - A Glimpse into German Revolutionary History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the tumultuous events of 3rd April 1833 in Frankfurt, Germany. The image showcases a copper engraving turned watercolour masterpiece by Adolph Berchelman, capturing the intensity and bravery of the Frankfurter Wachensturm. The scene depicts members of the Burschenschaft movement, led by Georg Büchner and Gustav Körner, storming the Hauptwache and Konstablerwache buildings during their fight for political freedom. Their determination is palpable as they raise the flag of Germany high above their heads, symbolizing unity and defiance against oppression. Among these courageous revolutionaries are notable figures such as François Georgin, Theodore Engleman, Henry Abend, George Bunsen (brother of diplomat Christian Charles Josias von Bunsen), and Gustav Bunsen. Together with countless others whose names may have been lost to history but not their spirit, they risked everything for a brighter future. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of an important chapter in German history when ordinary citizens stood up against autocracy. It encapsulates both hope and struggle while honoring those who fought for democratic ideals that continue to shape our world today. Preserved within this private collection, this rare gem allows us to bear witness to an extraordinary moment frozen in time - a testament to human
