Frankfurt was a major city of the Holy Roman Empire, serving as the seat of imperial elections since 885 and as the site of imperial coronations from 1562 until 1792. Frankfurt was declared an Imperial Free City in 1372, giving it the status of Imperial immediacy, meaning it was directly subordinate to the Holy Roman Emperor rather than to any territorial prince.
