The events of these two years also exist in the tension between &#8220;Time moves on&#8221; and &#8220;Time stands still&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">What happened in Kirchheimbolanden back then also gains particular significance from the perspective of today&#8217;s constitutional order.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">City tour panels 46-60 thus address a historical event that is of particular relevance. They are a further development of the Kirchheimbolanden Free Corps Circular Route, conceived in 1999 by students of the Wilhelm-Erb-Gymnasium Winnweiler. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The storm that swept through Europe \u2013 also led to a politicization of the public in Kirchheimbolanden in 1848\/49. In 1848, the dominant theme was a state order determined by popular sovereignty, fundamental rights, and the separation of powers, analogous to the constitutional discussion led by the German National Assembly in Frankfurt&#8217;s St. Paul&#8217;s Church. However, when the constitution adopted by the National Assembly was not recognized by the Kingdom of Bavaria in May 1849, violence escalated in the Palatinate.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The &#8220;Battle of Kirchheimbolanden on June 14, 1849&#8221; between Prussian troops and Rhenish Hessian Free Corps thus became a stage on the path to the failure of the revolution. In Kirchheimbolanden, both phases \u2013 the one conceptualizing unity, rights, and freedom from 1849, and the authoritarian-restorative one from 1849 \u2013 can be experienced in various ways.
