May 2009 sees the 60th anniversary of the adoption of the Basic Law
(Constitution) of the Federal Republic of Germany. To mark this
occasion, the Foundation is publishing two keynote speeches which
Theodor Heuss delivered before the Parliamentary Council. His
opening speech on 9th September 1948 and his final speech on 8th
May 1949 are key markers for his active commitment to the work of
this constituent assembly. An essay by Prof. Jutta Limbach, former
President of the Federal Constitutional Court, completes the
volume.
Theodor Heuss is one of the most significant founders of German
politics' new political beginning in Germany. As a liberal party
politician and leader of the WA1/4rttemberg-Baden "Kultministerium"
(ministry of culture) he gained respect in all four occupied zones.
He faced his most important task during 1948/49 in the
Parlamentarischer Rat (parliamentary council), where he made an
essential contribution to the creation of the constitution. Both as
a journalist and an "educator for democracy," Heuss advocated a
moral reformation and the ruthless examination of crimes committed
by the German people under the National Socialist regime.
