The photo shows Federal Chancellor Konrad Adenauer

The first Federal Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Konrad Adenauer (1949-1963), at his home office in Rhöndorf. He remained in office for 14 years and was the defining personality during the founding years of the Federal Republic. His name is inextricably associated with the reconstruction of democratic and economic structures in West Germany after the Second World War. This photo was taken in 1949.
