May 02, 1957 - Bonn, Germany - West Germany s first chancellor KONRAD ADENAUER began his career in politics as a member of the Cologne City Council, becoming lord mayor of the city. After the Nazis came to power in 1933, Adenauer, who had not hidden distaste for them, lost his positions, was forced to go into exile for a year in an abbey and was later interned in a prison camp. Adenauer was elected Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany on 15 September 1949. His main aim was to ensure West Germany s transition to a sovereign, democratic state. He held power for the next fourteen years and during that time played an important role in restoring good relations with France and the United States.
