The last capital of the Holy Roman Empire was Frankfurt am Main. This city was significant in the empire’s history, as it hosted the election and coronation of emperors, serving as a central political hub. Frankfurt was the site of important gatherings, including the Diet of Frankfurt, where matters of state were discussed among the princes and electors. Following the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806 during the Napoleonic Wars, Frankfurt's role as a political center diminished, but its historical significance within the context of the empire remains recognized.
