West Germany was extremely lucky to find a man like Adenauer, who had absolutely no ties to the Nazis but who also had such a strong economic mind when it was so desperately needed.
I love Konrad Adenauer. His vision helped to rebuild Germany. He had integrity and strove to overcome adversity. He had the people's best interest at heart, not something you can say about many politicians then or now.
@@AgonoshiiAgone aaaa
The Germans were lucky to have such a great man as a leader. It is a shame that his courage and honesty is missing from western politics nowadays.
Los geht's Deutschland, kämpfen und siegen!
The reason such leadership is missing, is that there wasn’t any fascist dictator to influence the politicians.
The Nazi Regime shaped Brandt if you will.
Damals wurde man Politiker, um eine Wiederholung des Nationalsozialismus auszuschließen. Heute sind viele Leute Politiker geworden, um Karriere zu machen oder um ihre Ideologie linker Faschisten durchzusetzen.
A brilliant and truly honorable man. Inspiring. Thank you for the video.
Probably 'Germany's' greatest chancellor.
but a. h. is the best💜
@@misskonaxia Ew no
@@linkfromzelda1002 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that's sarcasm we all know that bismarck is the best chancellor of germany, he kept the balance of power until willy became greedy
@@misskonaxia Bismarck is my daddy
@@misskonaxia kannst du auch nur Mist schreiben?
At this time, Adenauer was at the height of his power and popularity. His party, the CDU, got 50,2% at the election 1957, so he needed no other party to form his new/old government. The pension reform 1957, the accesion of the Saarland in the same year and the liberation of the last 10.000 POWs from Russia in 1955 were reasons for this overwhelming success.
The greatest chancellor we ever had in Germany!
No, Schmidt
@@marcziegenhain8420 no Brandt
Schmidt next
Then Adenauer
After that it’s all trash
@@obinator9065 Im Kaiserreich gab es auch fähige Kanzler. Selbst Kiesinger war im Gegensatz zu Merkel und Scholz ein perfekter Kanzler...wie tief wir doch gefallen sind.
@@nein236 Kiesinger war ein hochintelligenter Diplomat und deshalb auch ein erfolgreicher Kanzler der Großen Koalition (1966-1969), bis Brandt keine Lust mehr hatte.
@@obinator9065 Sie haben überhaupt keine Ahnung und kein Gefühl für Geschichte und Politik.
Dr Konrad-Adenauer is the father of new Germany, and my adopted great father. We Germans have had the big chance to have the right person at that crucial orientation period, it was Mr Dr Konrad Adenauer. May the Lord let him rest in peace until we see us again.
Adenauer came exactly at the right time for West Germany.
Nice guy in difficult times.
Thinking that the political Career of the "old one" as Mayor of Cologne started all the way back in the Kaiserreich. He was even awarded with numerous medals of the Kingdom of Prussia including a white-ribboned Iron Cross second Class (the white Ribbon signaling the medal being awarded for non-combat related achievements). Later on he received the Order of the Golden Spur by the Papalcy which theoretically granted him the right to enter a church on Horseback.
Adenaur was a miracle to germany.
read his books damn it was truly inspiring.
Adenauer made a mistake here - he meant Leo XIII., not Leo XII. :D And yes, it's Adenauer who makes the mistake, not his translator. He clearly says "Leo der zwölfte".
It is a very serious pity that Adenauer was cut off on the China question!
Konrad Adenauer has certainly earned his place in Germany's history books. But although I identify closer politically to him, I absolutely admire Kurt Schumacher. Thanks to him, you could be socialist (which many Germans were) and not be communist. If not for the loyal opposition the SPD provided, West Germany may have fallen to the communists.
Thanks to the Americans, Adenauer and the nowadays disappeared survival instinct of the Germans, seeing what was going on in the Soviet dominated parts of the ex Reich, it did not. You might remember the strict opposition of the Social Democrats against taking active part in NATO based self-defence. So, please, no more myths.
He was like my great great uncle or grand father or something like that. He disowned one of his daughters that is the one I’m related to. She married someone of a different religion. I wish I could contact someone that still lives in Germany related to him.
Compare Adenauer at age 82 and Biden who I think is in his 70s!!
Dr Konrad Adenauer was not venerated, but loved by his people. He was a deeper christian. So is had only God to worship.
dude thats so cool that paradox made this animated short for the dude from hoi4
this is joke I actually really like Konrad.
Unfortunately I am in Germany too in late, he has already left. I would be a good grandson for him
Thanks Dr Adenauer, our country, Germany, is rich and strong. So my obligation as german citzen is to bring my part of contribution in order to make Germany greater again. Yes Germany and not here America. Mr Trump should apology me. And I am going to invite all Germans to think and perform the same.
Different times. The rethorical exchanges in the Bundestag were held at the same level. No blind attacks, no plain diffamation of the counterpart, but arguments exchanged at a level where I, detainer of an engineering degree, have sometimes problems to follow. Politics has for sure become popular.
Yes, but men like Wehner were a little bit different. I remember the debates from the 1970s, when Wehner yelled things like: "Mr. Strauß is mentally a terrorist!" "If you hear the word 'Marxist', you feel like Goebbels. You are as stupid as he was in this question, but he was jesuitical ingenious!... Whoever goes out has to come back in! Cheers to you!"
Not when Schmidt entered the Bundestag
Ja, so traumhaft war das Klima im Parlament nicht immer. Herbert Wehner und Kurt Schumacher waren schreckliche Choleriker.
Dr Konrad Adenauer is for me the German Messiah
Help me for the homework:
"Did he become a great chancellor? Why?"
Weißt Du, was ein "Dictionary" ist?
Konrad I wish more people would take about the real heroes of Germany and not AH.
When CDU meant something.
a planned economy is efficent, and useful after such a destructive war.
Please hold the Line British and USA. The German people need this Video SOS of German Translator SOS please lovely Alliierten People. Please give this Video of german Speek. Thank You und I love you so Lover USA an British. Please you inne Ear und i hopen of Translator. Of German please. Thank you Friends.
Adenauer was the wrong man at the wrong time, Schumacher would have been a better leader
Mit Kurt Schumacher als erstem Bundeskanzler wären wir zwar vereinigt worden, jedoch auch bis heute eine Sowjetrepublik.
There was no two party system in Germany, there where at least always three, the conservatives, the liberals and the social demokrats.
Today there are six partys represented in the German parliament (the far right, the conservatives, the liberals, the social dempcrats, the greens and the far left) and some more who are only represented in state parliament or the EU parliament.
Cool
A natural leader who could handle real emergencies, I have no doubt Adenauer has many a visitor to his grave expressing their gratitude.
What an extraordinary man was Adenauer!
Adenauer is a man of such honest, deep, and well meaning conviction. A conviction, I think, that marks him as the great statesman of time.
Friendly spoken: you seem neither a good character (by the way you speak about deceaded) nor of any knowledge or understanding of the that time. Even though you are alive I wouldn't name you a "rat".
paramonov1984 he brought us through maybe our hardest time, the after war period and he rebuild the nation and brought us the wirtschaftswunder which still holds today.
@@paramonov1984 what you call a traitor rat. is nothing more than a good rebuilder of a country. if he was a rat he let the occupied forces take everything. Adenaurer made sure there was Soverienty and a army to go along with it. Offcourse he had to make some offer something in return. to ensure that there where diplomatic relations.
They don't have politicians like him anymore!!
@@jojojojo4332 Adenauer definitely was the right thing for germany in this time, but just as he was good he also truly made Germany an American Puppet.
I wish we had more politicians like him nowadays. A man who put his country and the people of his country before everything else. Free of corruption, always honest, hard working and loyal.
Those people are there and if not become that candidate
Adenauer war der beste deutsche Bundeskanzler
Jä
Thanks for this video. Very useful in a classroom setting. Much appreciated.
Adenauer, build a new Germany.
Democracy, economic strongness, NATO membership, reunification in, of Germany are all due to the strategical decision of Dr Konrad Adenauer called "Westbindung", orientation to the Western.
There are so many good videos on TH-cam.
It's amazing what you can find.
A great statesman and leader!
He turned around the country so much so Israeli leaders attended his funeral.
Adenauer, what a man! It is he who resurrected postwar West Germany from the ashes of WWII by starting the free German nation on a course toward European integration and firm alliance with NATO and setting a policy of economic management that made possible the GDR's "Wirtschaftswunder" in the 1950s and early 1960s. Without the steady, competent hand of leadership provided by Adenauer in those most trying of times, it is doubtful West Germany would've been on firm enough economic and political footing once the Cold War heated up to effectively buttress the Communist threat that loomed directly across her border!
This was one smart man.
El mejor Canciller de Alemania sin duda alguna.
Great Adenauer!
We are now experiencing the visionary concern of Dr Adenauer over Russia and China
what are you talking about?
socialist governments in britain 1945-51 1964-70, france 1981-95, germany 1969-82 were all successful.
when you rely on a free market you end up with the crashes of 1929 and 2008
AdmiralBlake WTF are you talking about and who are you talking to?
They weren’t „socialist“. They were social-democratic.
He's just one of these waste of space leftists who hates the people who saved his grandparents asses. When you don't rely on the free market you end up with Hitler marching through your town and killing all your family members, as you beg countries that rely on the free market to come save your ass.
AdmiralBlake - ...and 2020...
your wrong, very very wrong
