Germania is a painting by Philipp Veit created in March 1848. It was used as an allegoric decoration in the National Assembly in the 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 it is in the German national museum, in Nuremberg.
