March 2016 West Germany is the common name for the Federal Republic of Germany : Bundesrepublik Deutschland in the period between its creation on 23 May 1949 and on 3 October 1990. During this era, -aligned West Germany and -aligned were divided by the. After 1961 was physically separated from as well as from East Germany by the. This situation ended when East Germany was dissolved and split into five states, which then joined the ten states of the Federal Republic of Germany along with the reunified city-state of. This period is referred to as the Bonn Republic Bonner Republik by historians, alluding to the interwar and the post-reunification. US and British forces remained in the country throughout the. Its population grew from roughly 51 million in 1950 to more than 63 million in 1990. The city of was its provisional capital. The fourth Allied occupation zone the East Zone, or Ostzone was held by the , bounded to the east by the ; and in 1949 this became the socialist abbreviated GDR; in German Deutsche Demokratische Republik or DDR with its de facto capital in. The former parts of Germany east of the - were separated from 'Germany as a whole' by the of 1945, and then annexed by and the Soviet Union. As a result, West Germany had a territory about half the size of the democratic. At the onset of the Cold War, Europe was divided among the Western and Eastern blocs. Germany was de facto divided into two countries and two special territories, the and divided Berlin. Initially the Federal Republic of Germany claimed an for all of Germany, considering itself to be the democratically reorganised continuation of the 1871—1945. It took the line that the GDR was an illegally constituted. Though the GDR did hold regular elections, these were not free and fair. From the West German perspective, the GDR was therefore illegitimate. Three southwestern states of West Germany merged to form in 1952, and the Saarland joined the Federal Republic of Germany in 1957. In addition to the resulting ten states, was considered an unofficial de facto 11th state. While legally not part of the Federal Republic of Germany, as Berlin was under the control of the , West Berlin aligned itself politically with West Germany and was directly or indirectly represented in its federal institutions. Claims to an exclusive mandate were formally relinquished, West Germany accepting that, within its own boundaries, the GDR represented its population as a de jure German state outside the Federal Republic. In addition, although the Federal Republic still did not recognise the GDR as being fully a sovereign state in international law, it nevertheless accepted that within the forum of international law East Germany was an independent sovereign state with which the Federal Republic could enter into binding international agreements. But in respect of legality within its own boundaries, West Germany continued to maintain that there remained a single but dormant overall German nation, that could only be represented de jure by the Federal Republic. From 1973 onward, East Germany maintained the existence of two German sovereign states, with West Germany being both de facto and de jure a foreign country. The Federal Republic and the GDR agreed that neither of them could speak in the name of the other. The foundation for the influential position held by Germany today was laid during the economic miracle of the 1950s when West Germany rose from the enormous destruction wrought by to become the world's third-largest economy. The first chancellor , who remained in office until 1963, had worked for a full alignment with rather than neutrality. He not only secured a membership in NATO but was also a proponent of agreements that developed into the present-day. When the was established in 1975, there was no question whether the Federal Republic of Germany would be a member as well. Following the , symbolised by the opening of the , there was a rapid move towards. East Germany voted to dissolve itself and accede to the Federal Republic in 1990. Its five post-war states Länder were reconstituted along with the reunited Berlin, which ended its special status and formed an additional Land. They formally joined the Federal Republic on 3 October 1990, raising the number of states from 10 to 16, ending the division of Germany. The expanded Federal Republic retained West Germany's political culture and continued its existing memberships in international organisations, as well as its Western foreign policy alignment and affiliation to Western alliances like UN, NATO, OECD and the European Union. The official name of West Germany, adopted in 1949 and unchanged since is Bundesrepublik Deutschland Federal Republic of Germany. In East Germany, the terms Westdeutschland West Germany or westdeutsche Bundesrepublik West German Federal Republic were preferred during the 1950s and 1960s. This changed once under its , when the idea of a single German nation was abandoned by East Germany and West Germans and West Berliners were officially considered foreigners. In 1973, official East German sources adopted it as a standard expression and other nations soon followed suit. In reaction to this move, in 1965 the West German issued the Directives for the appellation of Germany, recommending avoiding the initialism. On 31 May 1974, the heads of West German federal and state governments recommended always using the full name in official publications. From then on West German sources avoided the abbreviated form, with the exception of left-leaning organizations which embraced it. In November 1979 the federal government informed the that the West German public broadcasters and had agreed to refuse to use the initialism. Berlin was a four-power area within the Soviet zone. On 4—11 February 1945 leaders from the , the and the held the where future arrangements as regards post-war Europe and strategy against Japan in the Pacific were negotiated. The conference agreed that post-war Germany would be divided into : a Zone in the far west; a Zone in the northwest; an Zone in the south; and a Zone in the East. These divisions were not intended to dismember Germany, only to designate zones of administration. By the subsequent , the four Allied Powers asserted joint sovereignty over 'Germany as a whole', defined as the totality of the territory within the occupation zones. Former German areas east of the rivers and and outside of 'Germany as a whole' were separated from German sovereignty and transferred to Polish and Russian administration, their Polish and Russian status to be confirmed at a final Peace Treaty. Following wartime commitments by the Allies to the governments-in-exile of and , the Potsdam Protocols also agreed to the 'orderly and humane' transfer back to Germany as a whole of the ethnic German populations in Poland, Czechoslovakia and. Eight million German expellees and refugees eventually settled in West Germany. Between 1946 and 1949, three of the occupation zones began to merge. First, the British and American zones were combined into the quasi-state of. Soon afterwards, the French zone was included into. At the same time, new federal states Länder were formed in the Allied zones; replacing the geography of pre-Nazi German states, which had derived ultimately from former independent German kingdoms and principalities. In 1949 with the continuation and aggravation of the Cold War witness the of 1948—49 , the two German states that were originated in the Western Allied and the Soviet Zones became known internationally as West Germany and East Germany. Commonly known in English as , the former , eventually became the or GDR. In 1990 West Germany and East Germany jointly signed the ; by which transitional status of Germany following was definitively ended, the Four Allied powers relinquished their joint residual sovereign authority for Germany as a whole, the two parts of Germany confirmed their post-war external boundaries as final and irreversible including the 1945 transfer of former German lands east of the , and the Allied Powers confirmed their consent to German Reunification. From 3 October 1990, after the reformation of the GDR's Länder, the East German states. The former occupying Western troops remained on the ground, now as part of the NATO , which West Germany joined on 9 May 1955, promising to rearm itself soon. West Germany became a focus of the with its juxtaposition to East Germany, a member of the subsequently founded. The former capital, , had been divided into four sectors, with the Western Allies joining their sectors to form , while the Soviets held. West Berlin was completely surrounded by East German territory and had suffered a Soviet blockade in 1948—49, which was overcome by the. Germany's partners in the proposed to establish a EDC , with an integrated army, navy and air force, composed of the armed forces of its member states. The West German military would be subject to complete EDC control, but the other EDC member states , , , and the would cooperate in the EDC while maintaining independent control of their own armed forces. Though the EDC treaty was signed May 1952 , it never entered into force. France's rejected it on the grounds that it threatened national sovereignty, and when the refused to ratify it August 1954 , the treaty died. The French Gaullists and communists had killed the French government's proposal. Then other means had to be found to allow West German rearmament. In response, at the , the was modified to include West Germany, and to form the WEU. West Germany was to be permitted to rearm an idea many Germans rejected , and have full sovereign control of its military, called the. The WEU, however, would regulate the size of the armed forces permitted to each of its member states. Also, the German constitution prohibited any military action, except in the case of an external attack against Germany or its allies Bündnisfall. Also, Germans could reject military service on grounds of conscience, and serve for civil purposes instead. The three Western retained occupation powers in Berlin and certain responsibilities for Germany as a whole. Under the new arrangements, the Allies stationed troops within West Germany for NATO defense, pursuant to stationing and status-of-forces agreements. With the exception of 55,000 French troops, Allied forces were under NATO's joint defense command. France withdrew from the collective military command structure of NATO in 1966. Reforms during the 1960s was 73 years old when he became chancellor, and for this reason he was initially reckoned as a caretaker. However, he stayed in power for 14 years. The grand old man of German postwar politics had to be dragged—almost literally—out of office in 1963. In 1959 it was time to elect a new President and Adenauer decided that he would nominate Erhard, the architect of the economic miracle. Erhard was not enthusiastic, and to everybody's surprise, Adenauer decided at the age of 83 that he would take on the position. He apparently believed that this would allow him to dominate the scene for up to ten more years in spite of the growing mood for change. However, when his advisers informed him that the powers of the president were almost entirely ceremonial, he quickly lost interest. An alternative candidate was needed and eventually the Minister of Agriculture, Heinrich Lübke took on the task and was duly elected. Main article: In October 1962 the weekly news magazine published an analysis of the West German military defence. The conclusion was that there were several weaknesses in the system. Ten days after publication, the offices of Der Spiegel in Hamburg were raided by the police and quantities of documents were seized. Chancellor Adenauer proclaimed in the Bundestag that the article was tantamount to high treason and that the authors would be prosecuted. The FDP members of Adenauer's cabinet resigned from the government, demanding the resignation of , Defence Minister, who had decidedly overstepped his competence during the crisis. Adenauer was still wounded by his brief run for president, and this episode damaged his reputation even further. He announced that he would step down in the Fall of 1963. His successor was to be Ludwig Erhard. In the early 1960s the rate of economic growth slowed down significantly. In 1962 growth rate was 4. After a brief recovery, the growth rate slowed again into a recession, with no growth in 1967. A new coalition was formed to deal with this problem. Erhard stepped down in 1966 and was succeeded by. This was important for the introduction of new : the grand coalition gave the ruling parties the two-thirds majority of votes required for their ratification. These controversial acts allowed basic constitutional rights such as to be limited in case of a state of emergency. A key event in the development of open democratic debate occurred in 1967, when the , , visited West Berlin. Several thousand demonstrators gathered outside the Opera House where he was to attend a special performance. Supporters of the Shah later known as Jubelperser , armed with staves and bricks attacked the protesters while the police stood by and watched. A demonstration in the centre was being forcibly dispersed when a bystander named was shot in the head and killed by a plainclothes policeman. It has now been established that the policeman, Kurras, was a paid spy of the East German security forces. Protest demonstrations continued, and calls for more active opposition by some groups of students were made, which was declared by the press, especially the newspaper, as a massive disruption to life in Berlin, in a massive campaign against the protesters. Protests against the , mingled with anger over the vigour with which demonstrations were repressed led to mounting militance among the students at the universities in Berlin. One of the most prominent campaigners was a young man from East Germany called who also criticised the forms of capitalism that were to be seen in West Berlin. Just before Easter 1968, a young man tried to kill Dutschke as he bicycled to the student union, seriously injuring him. All over West Germany, thousands demonstrated against the Springer newspapers which were seen as the prime cause of the violence against students. Trucks carrying newspapers were set on fire and windows in office buildings broken. In the wakes of these demonstrations, in which the question of America's role in Vietnam began to play a bigger role, came a desire among the students to find out more about the role of the parent-generation in the Nazi era. The proceedings of the had been widely publicised in Germany but until a new generation of teachers, educated with the findings of historical studies, could begin to reveal the truth about the war and the crimes committed in the name of the German people. One courageous attorney, patiently gathered evidence on the guards of the and about twenty were put on trial in Frankfurt in 1963. Daily newspaper reports and visits by school classes to the proceedings revealed to the German public the nature of the concentration camp system and it became evident that was of vastly greater dimensions than the German population had believed. The processes set in motion by the Auschwitz trial reverberated decades later. The calling in question of the actions and policies of government led to a new climate of debate. The issues of emancipation, colonialism, environmentalism and grass roots democracy were discussed at all levels of society. In 1979 the environmental party, the Greens, reached the 5% limit required to obtain parliamentary seats in the provincial election. Also of great significance was the steady growth of a in which women demonstrated for equal rights. Until 1977 a married woman had to have the permission of her husband if she wanted to take on a job or open a bank account. Further reforms in 1979 to parental rights law gave equal legal rights to the mother and the father, abolishing the legal authority of the father. Parallel to this, a gay movement began to grow in the larger cities, especially in West Berlin, where homosexuality had been widely accepted during the twenties in the Weimar Republic. Logo of the Anger over the treatment of demonstrators following the death of Benno Ohnesorg and the attack on Rudi Dutschke, coupled with growing frustration over the lack of success in achieving their aims led to growing militance among students and their supporters. The student movement began to split into different factions, ranging from the unattached liberals to the and supporters of direct action in every form—the anarchists. Several groups set as their objective the aim of radicalising the industrial workers and taking an example from activities in Italy of the Brigade Rosse , many students went to work in the factories, but with little or no success. The last action took place in 1993 and the group announced it was giving up its activities in 1998. Evidence that the groups had been infiltrated by German Intelligence undercover agents has since emerged, partly through the insistence of the son of one of their prominent victims, the State Counsel Buback. Political developments 1969—90 In the 1969 election, the SPD—headed by —gained enough votes to form a coalition government with the FDP. Although Chancellor for only just over four years, Willy Brandt was one of the most popular politicians in the whole period. Brandt was a gifted speaker and the growth of the Social Democrats from there on was in no small part due to his personality. Brandt began a policy of rapprochement with West Germany's eastern neighbours, a policy opposed by the CDU. The issue of improving relations with Poland, Czechoslovakia and East Germany made for an increasingly aggressive tone in public debates but it was a huge step forward when Willy Brandt and the Foreign Minister, Walther Scheel FDP negotiated agreements with all three countries. Moscow Agreement, August 1970, Warsaw Agreement, December 1970, Four Power Agreement over the status of West Berlin in 1971 and an agreement on relations between West and East Germany, signed in December 1972. These agreements were the basis for a rapid improvement in the relations between east and west and led, in the long-term to the dismantlement of the Warsaw Treaty and the Soviet Union's control over Eastern Europe. Chancellor Brandt was forced to resign in May 1974, after , a senior member of his staff, was uncovered as a spy for the East German intelligence service, the. Brandt's contributions to world peace led to his nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1971. Finance Minister SPD formed a coalition and he served as Chancellor from 1974 to 1982. Following national elections in March 1983, Kohl emerged in firm control of both the government and the CDU. In January 1987 the Kohl—Genscher government was returned to office, but the FDP and the Greens gained at the expense of the larger parties. Kohl's CDU and its Bavarian sister party, the CSU, slipped from 48. The SPD fell to 37%; long-time SPD Chairman Brandt subsequently resigned in April 1987 and was succeeded by. The FDP's share rose from 7% to 9. The Greens' share rose to 8. Reunification Main article: With the in Central and Eastern Europe in 1989, symbolised by the opening of the , there was a rapid move towards ; and. Following democratic elections, East Germany declared its accession to the Federal Republic subject to the terms of the Unification Treaty between the two states; and then both West Germany and East Germany radically amended their respective constitutions in accordance with that Treaty's provisions. East Germany then dissolved itself, and its five post-war states Länder were reconstituted, along with the reunited Berlin which ended its special status and formed an additional Land. They formally joined the Federal Republic on 3 October 1990, raising the number of states from 10 to 16, ending the division of Germany. The expanded Federal Republic retained West Germany's political culture and continued its existing memberships in international organisations, as well as its Western foreign policy alignment and affiliation to Western alliances like NATO and the European Union. The official German reunification ceremony on 3 October 1990 was held at the , including , , former Chancellor and many others. One day later, the parliament of the united Germany would assemble in an act of symbolism in the Reichstag building. However, at that time, the role of Berlin had not yet been decided upon. Only after a fierce debate, considered by many as one of the most memorable sessions of , the concluded on 20 June 1991, with quite a slim majority, that both government and parliament should move to from. This improvement was sustained by the currency reform of 1948 which replaced the with the and halted rampant inflation. The Allied dismantling of the West German coal and steel industry finally ended in 1950. The — for many years the most successful car in the world — on the assembly line in Wolfsburg factory, 1973 As demand for consumer goods increased after World War II, the resulting shortage helped overcome lingering resistance to the purchase of German products. At the time Germany had a large pool of skilled and cheap labour, partly as a result of the flight and expulsion of Germans from Central and Eastern Europe, which affected up to 16. This helped Germany to more than double the value of its exports during the war. This would have implications later on for successive German governments as they tried to assimilate this group of workers. From the late 1950s onwards, West Germany had one of the strongest economies in the world, almost as strong as before the Second World War. The East German economy showed a certain growth, but not as much as in West Germany, partly because of continued reparations to the USSR in terms of resources. In 1952 West Germany became part of the , which would later evolve into the. The , and remained in the country, just as the remained in East Germany. The UK and the USA retained an especially strong presence in West Germany, acting as a deterrent in case of a Soviet invasion. In 1976 West Germany became one of the founding nations of the G6. In 1973, West Germany—home to roughly 1. In 1987 the FRG held a 7. Population and vital statistics Total population of West Germany from 1950 to 1990, as collected by the.

According to the , any country with the exception of the USSR that recognised the authorities of the would not have diplomatic relations with West Germany. The August 1970 , the December 1970 , the September 1971 , the May 1972 , and the December 1972 helped to normalise relations between East and West Germany and led to both German states joining the. The Hallstein Doctrine was relinquished, and West Germany ceased to claim an for Germany as a whole. Following the Ostpolitik the West German view was that East Germany was a de facto government within a single German nation and a de jure state organisation of parts of Germany outside the Federal Republic. The Federal Republic continued to maintain that it could not within its own structures recognise the GDR de jure as a sovereign state under international law; while at the same time acknowledging that, within the structures of international law, the GDR was an independent sovereign state. The two Germanys relinquished any claim to represent the other internationally; which they acknowledged as necessarily implying a mutual recognition of each other as both capable of representing their own populations de jure in participating in international bodies and agreements, such as the and the. This finding is independent of recognition in international law of the German Democratic Republic by the Federal Republic of Germany. Such recognition has not only never been formally pronounced by the Federal Republic of Germany but on the contrary repeatedly explicitly rejected. If the conduct of the Federal Republic of Germany towards the German Democratic Republic is assessed in the light of its détente policy, in particular the conclusion of the Treaty as de facto recognition, then it can only be understood as de facto recognition of a special kind. The special feature of this Treaty is that while it is a bilateral Treaty between two States, to which the rules of international law apply and which like any other international treaty possesses validity, it is between two States that are parts of a still existing, albeit incapable of action as not being reorganized, comprehensive State of the Whole of Germany with a single body politic. After the peaceful revolution of 1989 in East Germany, the Volkskammer of the GDR on 23 August 1990 declared the accession of East Germany to the Federal Republic under Article 23 of the Basic Law; and so initiated the process of reunification, to come into effect on 3 October 1990. Nevertheless, the act of reunification itself with its many specific terms and conditions; including fundamental amendments to the West German Basic Law was achieved constitutionally by the subsequent Unification Treaty of 31 August 1990; that is through a binding agreement between the former GDR and the Federal Republic now recognising each another as separate sovereign states in international law. This treaty was then voted into effect on 20 September 1990 by both the Volkskammer and the by the constitutionally required two-thirds majorities; effecting on the one hand, the extinction of the GDR and the re-establishment of on the territory of East Germany; and on the other, the agreed amendments to the Basic Law of the Federal Republic. Amongst these amendments was the repeal of the very Article 23 in respect of which the GDR had nominally declared its postdated accession to the Federal Republic. The two German states entered into a and in July 1990, and on 3 October 1990, the dissolved and the re-established as well as a unified Berlin joined the Federal Republic of Germany, bringing an end to the East-West divide. Political life in West Germany was remarkably stable and orderly. The era 1949—63 was followed by a brief period under 1963—66 who, in turn, was replaced by 1966—69. All governments between 1949 and 1966 were formed by the united caucus of the CDU and CSU , either alone or in coalition with the smaller FDP or other right-wing parties. This was important for the introduction of new emergency acts—the Grand Coalition gave the ruling parties the two-thirds majority of votes required to see them in. These controversial acts allowed basic constitutional rights such as freedom of movement to be limited in case of a. Demonstrations and protests grew in number, and in 1967 the student was shot in the head by a policeman. The press, especially the newspaper, launched a campaign against the protesters. By 1968 a stronger desire to confront the past had come into being. In the 1970s and became fundamental values among left-wing Germans. As a result, in 1979 were able to reach the 5% minimum required to obtain parliamentary seats in the state election, and with the foundation of the national party in 1980 developed into one of the most politically successful green movements in the world. Another result of the unrest in the 1960s was the founding of the RAF. The RAF was active from 1968, carrying out a succession of terrorist attacks in West Germany during the 1970s. Even in the 1990s, attacks were still being committed under the name RAF. The last action took place in 1993, and in 1998 the group announced it was ceasing activities. SPD leader and Chancellor remained head of government until May 1974, when he resigned after the , in which a senior member of his staff was uncovered as a spy for the East German intelligence service, the. However the affair is widely considered to have been merely a trigger for Brandt's resignation, not a fundamental cause. Instead, Brandt, dogged by scandal relating to alcohol and depression as well as the economic fallout of the , almost seems simply to have had enough. Finance Minister Helmut Schmidt SPD then formed a government, continuing the SPD—FDP coalition. He served as Chancellor from 1974 to 1982. Hans-Dietrich Genscher, a leading FDP official, was Vice Chancellor and Foreign Minister in the same years. The goals of SPD and FDP however drifted apart in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Following national elections in March 1983, Kohl emerged in firm control of both the government and the CDU. In January 1987 the Kohl—Genscher government was returned to office, but the FDP and the Greens gained at the expense of the larger parties. The Social Democrats concluded that not only were the Greens unlikely to form a coalition, but also that such a coalition would be far from a majority. Neither condition changed until 1998. Postage stamps commemorating football's held in West Germany In the 20th century, became the largest sport in Germany. The , established in 1900, continued its tradition based in the Federal Republic of Germany, winning the in a stunning upset dubbed the. Earlier, the German team was not considered part of the international top. The was held in West German cities and West Berlin. After having been beaten by their East German counterparts in the first round, the team of the won the cup again, defeating the 2—1 in the final. With the process of unification in full swing in the summer of 1990, the Germans won a third World Cup, with players that had been capped for East Germany not yet permitted to contribute. European championships have been won too, in 1972, 1980 and 1996. These were also the first summer games in which the East Germans showed up with the separate flag and anthem of the GDR. Since the 1950s, had been represented by a united team led by the pre-war German NOC officials as the IOC had denied East German demands for a separate team. The only differences were a larger membership and a different name used by some foreigners. These organisations and teams in turn mostly continued the traditions of those that represented Germany before the Second World War, and even the First World War, thus providing a century-old continuity despite political changes. On the other hand, the separate East German teams and organisations were founded in the 1950s; they were an episode lasting less than four decades, yet quite successful in that time. Literary scene Besides the interest in the older generation of writers, new authors emerged on the background of the experiences of war and after war period. Exemplary for West Germany's literature are — among others — with and with and. Daily life During the 40 years of separation some divergence occurred in the cultural life of the two parts of the severed nation. Both West Germany and East Germany followed along traditional paths of the common German culture, but West Germany, being obviously more affected by influences from western Europe and , became more. Conversely, East Germany, while remaining more conservative than West Germany in its adherence to some aspects of the received tradition, was strongly moulded by the dictates of a ideology of predominantly Soviet inspiration. On the non-political level, East Germany was also influenced by the Eastern Bloc's Slavic cultures that manifested in art, culinary scene, and sports. Nevertheless, young East Germans were also fascinated by Western and particularly American culture, which they had a degree of access to in a variety of ways, not least through West German television and radio, whose broadcasts reached many parts of the country. In contrast, for East Germans the scale of change has been sweeping in all aspects of life from that before. Although movements like exist attempting to celebrate and preserve parts of the GDR culture, since reunification the former East Germany has been converging towards the western part of the country in most parts of daily life. The judicial branch of both the German Bundesverfassungsgericht and the highest Court of Appeals, were located in. The West German government was known to be much more than its East German counterpart, the former being a and the latter a. Whilst East Germany was divided into 15 administrative districts Bezirke , which were merely local branches of the national government, West Germany was divided into states Länder with independently elected state parliaments and control of the , the second legislative chamber of the Federal Government. Today, is often considered to be in geographical terms. When distinguishing between former West Germany and former East Germany as parts of present-day unified Germany, it has become most common to refer to the Alte Bundesländer old states and the Neue Bundesländer new states , although Westdeutschland and Ostdeutschland are still heard as well.
