Events
About 50 students attacked the soldiers and policemen of the Frankfurt Police offices Hauptwache and Konstablerwache in order to gain control over the treasury of the German Confederation to start a revolution in all German states. It was not successful because it was betrayed to the police, so that it was easy to overcome the attackers.
The attack was organized by students, most of them members of the Burschenschaft, Gustav Körner and Gustav Bunsen (de:Gustav Bunsen), a teacher, and others.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“At all events there is in Brooklyn
something that makes me feel at home.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
““The ideal reasoner,” he remarked, “would, when he had once been shown a single fact in all its bearings, deduce from it not only all the chain of events which led up to it but also all the results which would follow from it.””
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
