He was one of the top five greatest leaders of all time, because of his wisdom and foresight he contributed much to make the world a lot safer.

Konrad is one of the greatest political minds in the 20th century with ideas that work today! It is depressing that DW has not given this great man his own Docu! It would be most appreciated and your skills at making Docu’s are very good so it would be done right. Thank you for listening! :)

He certainly was a great politician, and I remembered hearing the story when he went to meet the three western powers high commissioners, they expected him to bow, to which he didn't, and I think they knew Germany was back.

Das Wort "Wegbereiter" hat selten so gut gepasst, wie zu diesem Mann.

Didn't know who he was, until recently people brought him up in the debate about age and politics. Thanks DW

Glad to have helped out :)

I think of Adenauer and Erhard as kindred spirits who helped create the modern 'German Economic Miracle.'

An argument that Biden is not done. What a legacy Herr Adenauer.

He brought liberal democracy and freedom to Germany at a time when it was desperately needed.

Modern Germany's George Washington!

[@suleyman8696]

That’s more Otto Von Bismark

[@edwinsparda7622]

@@Eyyoh755 That would be Otto Von Bismarck. Adenauer sacrificed Eastern Germany's Prussian Lands.
