Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I te wā o te whakaekenga o Tiamana ki te Rāwhiti o te tau 1953
I tino tukinotia e te ope Whero i te Pipiri 1953, i whai painga a Adenauer ki te kaupapa torangapu o te ahuatanga, a, i whiriwhiria ano ia ki te wa tuarua hei Kaiwhakahaere. Ko te CDU/CSU kotahi te tūru i ngaro i te nuinga. I taea e Adenauer te whakahaere i roto i te hononga ki tetahi atu roopu anake, engari i mau tonu te tautoko o te nuinga o nga roopu i te Bundestag i te taha matau o te SPD. Mo ana mahi katoa hei kaiārahi o Tiamana ki te Uru, i tapaina a Adenauer ko te "Time" Magazine's Man of the Year i te tau 1953. I te tau 1954, i whakawhiwhia ki a ia te Karlspreis (English: Charlemagne Award), he tohu na te taone nui o Tiamana o Aachen ki nga taangata i whai waahi ki te whakaaro Pakeha, te mahi tahi a Europi me te rangimarie a Europi.
