The only thing I could find that it was named the National Assembly, but another reference calls it the Frankfurt Vorparlament.

Frankfurt National Assembly

Frankfurter Nationalversammlung, or Deutsche Nationalversammlung (May 1848-June 1849), German national parliament that tried and failed to create a united German state during the liberal Revolutions of 1848.

A preliminary parliament (Vorparlament) met in Frankfurt am Main in March 1848 at the instigation of liberal leaders from all the German states (including Austria), and it called for the election of a national assembly (Nationalversammlung). The elections were duly held, though the electoral laws and methods varied considerably from state to state, and on May 18 the National Assembly met in the Church of St. Paul (Paulskirche) in Frankfurt. Moderate liberals held a majority in the assembly, though the entire political spectrum was represented among its deputies. The liberal Heinrich von Gagern was elected president of the parliament.
