West Endhall
West Hall was the name of a since August 1848 existing political group in the National Assembly in Frankfurt .
As with most parliamentary groups in the National Assembly, the name refers to the usual place of assembly of members of the parliamentary group in Frankfurt am Main . The Hotel Westendhall was on the Taunusanlage between Taunusbahnhof and Main-Weser-Bahnhof .
The Westendhall faction was a moderate split from the left and democratic faction Deutscher Hof and the left-liberal faction Württemberger Hof . Mockingly referred to by the left as the “left in tails”, the parliamentary group supported the Reich constitution , but was against an agreement of the same with the German federal states. Although the parliamentary group actually supported a republican form of government, it partially agreed to the position of the casino group in order to obtain a majority for any form of government and supported the hereditary imperialists in the decisive vote.
Heinrich Simon was the leading head of the Westendhall parliamentary group , and other well-known politicians were Gottlob Friedrich Federer , Wilhelm Heinrich Murschel , Franz Raveaux , Adolph Gottlieb Ferdinand Schoder , Jodocus Temme , Friedrich Wilhelm Schulz and Friedrich Theodor Vischer .
