HISTORICAL MAP CHART SHOWING LOCAL TOPOGRAPHY

The Bundestag was also the nickname of the governing body of the German Confederation from 1815-1866 (officially called Bundesversammlung, "Federal Assembly"). This body met in Frankfurt and was presided over by the Austrian delegate. As one of the chief instruments of the reactionary forces opposed to democracy and nationalism, it was dissolved during the liberal revolution of 1848 but reconvened in 1850. It is a predecessor to the modern Bundestag in name only. While the modern parliament is elected by the people, the Bundestag of the German Confederation was appointed by the various princes and the governments of the free cities
