Julius Hubner's painting in 1950 depicts Germania as fallen due to the historical events that took place around that time. The revolution of 1848 that occurred due to dissatisfaction with the Congress of Vienna was unsuccessful and King Frederick William IV of Prussia did not ascend the throne. The Frankfurt parliament was dissolved and many leaders were sent into exile. All these events prompted Hubner to paint the Fallen Germania.
