'''Konrad Hermann Josef Adenauer''' (born 5 January 1876 in [[Cologne]]; died 19 April 1967 in [[Rhöndorf]] (part of [[Bad Honnef]])). From 1949 to 1963 he was the first [[Bundeskanzler]] (chancellor) of the [[Federal Republic of Germany]] and from 1951 to 1955 was foreign secretary the same time.

Adenauer was the third of five children of a court secretary in Cologne. His family was [[Catholic]]. Konrad Adenauer started his political career in 1906 in the city assembly of Cologne. From 1917 to 1933 and again in 1945 he was mayor of Cologne.
Adenauer was a member of the Catholic [[Zentrum Party]]. When the [[Nazi]] Party took power he lost his job. At first he worked with the Nazis, but after the [[conspiracy]] to kill Hitler failed in 1944 he hid for his own safety.

After the war he became mayor of Cologne again, but lost the job after a few months.

In the [[Parlamentarischer Rat]] of West Germany, he was one of the top politicians and the President. He founded the [[CDU]] at the same time.
He was important in making [[Bonn]] the West German capital instead of [[Frankfurt am Main]].

In [[1949]] he was elected as the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany.
He made sure West Germany joined the side of the western [[capitalist]] countries in the [[Cold War]]. He also helped West Germany join [[NATO]]. He was reelected three times.

In 1964 he stopped being chancellor. He was a member of the [[Bundestag]] until his death at 91 years old.
