Detailed Solution

The German oak in "Germania" stands for heroism. Germania, in visual representations, wears a crown of oak leaves. The German nation is represented by Germania. The oak-leaf crown of Germania symbolises the honour of valour and bravery shown by the people of Germany, who were ruled by foreign forces. Artists in the 18th and 19th centuries started personifying the nations. Nations were portrayed as female figures by the artists. The female figure became the nation's allegory. An artist prepared the painting of Germania wearing oak leaves crown on a cotton banner because it was meant to hang from the ceiling of the Church of St Paul, where the parliament of Frankfurt was convened in March 1848.
