The March Revolution of 1848 was the first attempt to establish a united and democratic German state and the painting of Germania was an icon of that revolution. As a symbol for a unified German nation, the painting hung in full view of the first all-German Parliament during its sessions in St' Paul's Church in Frankfurt in May 1848.

The painting is usually attributed to Philipp Veit, but the actual painter is unknown. In 1867, the painting was gifted to the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg.

241 Germania is a main belt asteroid discovered on September 12, 1884 by Robert Luther.
