About 50 students attacked the soldiers and policemen of the Frankfurt Police offices Hauptwache and Konstablerwache in order to gain control over the treasury of the German Confederation to start a revolution in all German states.
In 1833, it was at the centre of an attempted revolution when revolutionary students attacked and attempted to loot it and the main watch-house (Hauptwache).
