On May 6, 1974, Willy Brandt resigned from the office of Federal Chancellor - an occasion for us to look back with a twinkle in our eye on his five years in office, which were both groundbreaking and turbulent: 15 caricatures, including those by Ernst Maria Lang, Horst Haitzinger and Fritz Wolf, show the first Social Democratic Federal Chancellor in various facets - from the enthusiastic foreign policy mediator to the stoic sailor in politically rough waters and down-to-earth pillar saint to the crisis-ridden head of government.
The gallery exhibition is part of the extensive program of events and exhibitions with which the Federal Chancellor Willy Brandt Foundation is highlighting Willy Brandt's chancellorship from 1969-1974 from various angles to mark the 50th anniversary.
