German Political History lesson

I have a question. Who was another notable German Chancellor, other than Konrad Adenauer and Hitler?

i admit to a bit of hyperbole; she survived the east german nuttiness, but i think it's left her a bit too free marketish.

The man who "saved" Germany. Even the most staunch of liberals of his time still view him with a great deal of respect. He kept Germany from sinking into a bigger quagmire than was found before WWII.

They named it after him, because it was his favorite car.

I would think that a notable Chancellor was Willy Brandt. I believe they have him on the 2 Euro coin.
