Adenauer's long life covered a period during which his country's fortunes rose and fell dramatically. He was born in the neighboring Rhineland city of Cologne on Jan.
5, 1876, just after the close of the FrancoPrussian war. He knew the eras of Bismarck, Kaiser Wilhelm II and Adolf Hitler. As a boy, the young Adenauer studied law and married into an influential family. In 1916 his first big political break came when he was chosen mayor of his native city. He held this office until 1933, when he was forced out by the Nazis for his unsympathetic attitude toward their rise to power.
He spent the 12 years of the Third Reich at his home in Rhoendorf, tending his rose garden and pottering in his hobby shop. Arrested twice by the Gestapo he and his second wife- the first died in 1916 spent their 25th wedding anniversary in prison. During the last days of the war Adenauer took refuge in a monastery in the Eifel mountains near Bonn. He was found there by allied officers. Without the taint of a Nazi past, and full of vigor despite his age, Adreturned to Cologne to enauer.
his political career. He helped found the Christian Democratic party, based on both Protestant and Catholic support. Adenauer was a devout Catholic but believed the two faiths should work together in politics to further their common ideals. Adenauer suffered a temporary setback after being re-installed as mayor of Cologne. He was dismissed by British occupation authorities for "inefficiency." But by 1949, when he was 73 years old, he emerged as battered Germany's strongest figure.
He won the chancellorship by a single vote and freely admitted it was his own. His party lost its majority in the 1961 election, and he had to enter into coalition with the conservative Free Democratic party, which was openly hostile to him. Then in 1962 came the Spiegel affair, a treason action against the German Magazine Spiegel for an article critical of the West German armed forces. This made the government look bumbling and authoritarian, and Adenauer had to give in to opposition from within his own party and agree to resign in the fall of 1963. He stepped down on Oct.
15 of that year, and was then widely hailed as a man who had performed great services for his country. Husband (Continued from Page 1) Fort Dix, N.J. He went from their to Vietnam.
