## Bio

Konrad Adenauer was born in 1876, a devout Catholic who rose through Weimar politics to serve as Mayor of Cologne from 1917 to 1933 and president of the Prussian State Council before the Nazis removed him. After the war, at 73, he founded and led the Christian Democratic Union and became West Germany's first chancellor in 1949, holding the office until 1963. He pivoted from denazification to reconstruction, locking his country into close ties with France, the U.K., and the U.S., and refused to recognize East Germany or its borders. Adenauer rebuilt the Bundeswehr and intelligence services, brought West Germany into NATO, and signed the Treaty of Rome in 1957. His relentless work pace and cold anti-communist instinct gave a destroyed nation stability, respect, and a seat at the table — he died in 1967, two decades after most men his age would have retired.
