Frieden
/frieden/Roman
English meaning: Peace
Definition
Freedom from conflict and war. Germany's post-WWII reconciliation with France (symbolized by de Gaulle and Adenauer's 1963 Élysée Treaty) is one of history's most remarkable peace-building achievements, forming the core of the European Union. Germany's experience of war guilt and responsibility for Holocaust shows the importance of historical accountability.
Example
“Die deutsch-französische Aussöhnung war die Grundlage des europäischen Friedens.”
In English: “The German-French reconciliation was the foundation of European peace.”
Literary Heritage
“Nein, eine Grenze hat Tyrannenmacht!”
