AI notes: President John F. Kennedy’s Paulskirche speech on June 25, 1963, in Frankfurt, West Germany, was a tribute to democratic ideals and the enduring bond between the United States and the German people. Speaking in the historic church where Germany’s first democratic parliament met in 1848, Kennedy praised West Germany’s democratic revival and economic strength after World War II. He emphasized the shared commitment to freedom and constitutional government and called for unity among Western nations against the threat of Soviet communism. The speech was part of his broader European tour and served to reaffirm U.S. support for a strong, democratic, and united Europe.
