Although he had serious reservations about the way the German General Staff wanted to conduct negotiations, he accepted the charge, and appointed a government that for the first time included representatives of the Social Democrats, Friedrich Ebert and Philipp Scheidemann.

Again and again attempts were made on the lives of left-wing, pacifist and even merely liberal politicians and publicists, for example Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, Walther Rathenau, Matthias Erzberger, Hans Paasche and Philipp Scheidemann or Maximilian Harden.

While Fischer and Kern prepared their plot, former chancellor Philipp Scheidemann barely survived an attempt on his life by O. C. assassins on June 4th, 1922.

During the official memorial ceremony the next day Chancellor Joseph Wirth from the Centre Party held a soon to be famous speech, in which, while pointing to the right side of the parliamentary floor, he used a well known formula by Philipp Scheidemann: " There is the enemy-and there is no doubt about it: This enemy is on the right!

The socialist Philipp Scheidemann at the Reichstag and the communist Karl Liebknecht at the Castle both proclaimed a republic.

The party's stance, under the leadership of Ebert and other " moderates " like Philipp Scheidemann, in favour of the war with the aim of a compromise peace, eventually led to a split, with those radically opposed to the war leaving the S. P. D.

On the same night, Philipp Scheidemann of the SPD declared a republic from the Reichstag.

Philipp Scheidemann ( 26 July 1865, Kassel, Electorate of Hesse – 29 November 1939, Copenhagen ) was a German Social Democratic politician, who proclaimed Germany a republic on 9 November 1918.

Wilhelm Martin Philipp Christian Ludwig Liebknecht ( 29 March 1826 – 7 August 1900 ) was a German social democrat and one of the principal founders of the SPD.

At lunch in the Reichstag the SPD deputy chairman Philipp Scheidemann learned that Liebknecht planned the proclamation of a Socialist Republic.

* 13 February 1919 – 20 June 1919: chancellor: Philipp Scheidemann ( SPD )

* 21 June 1919 Philipp Scheidemann ( SPD ) leaves office

In 1911 he became along with August Bebel an SPD chairman, in 1912 next to Philipp Scheidemann an SPD chairman in the Reichstag.

There, he studied philosophy under Vitus Müller and theology under Jacob Heerbrand ( a student of Philipp Melanchthon at Wittenberg ), who also taught Michael Maestlin while he was a student, until he became Chancellor at Tübingen in 1590.

The eighteenth century was dominated by Wenzel Anton, Prince of Kaunitz-Rietberg ( 13 May 1753 – 19 August 1792 ), who was Chancellor to four emperors from Maria Theresa to Francis II ( 1792-1835 ), with the titles of both Hofkanzler and Staatskanzler and was succeeded by Johann Philipp von Cobenzl ( 1792-1793 ).

Sued for slander and brought to trial on 7 November 1907, Brand asserted that the Chancellor had embraced and kissed his private secretary, Privy Councilor Max Scheefer, at all-male gatherings hosted by Philipp zu Eulenburg.

Social Democrat leaders Friedrich Ebert ( newly-named Chancellor ) and Philipp Scheidemann sought to forestall the Communists ′ action, and — evidently on the spur of the moment — Scheidemann proclaimed the Republic.

* Johann von Dalberg ( 1455 – 1503 ), 1480 cathedral provost in Worms and Chancellor of the University of Heidelberg, 1482 Chancellor of Elector Philipp of the Palatinate, 1482 Bishop of Worms, made Heidelberg and Worms into the then centres of humanism.

As planned, three members of each socialist party were elected into the " Council of People's Representatives ", from the USPD, their chairman Hugo Haase, the deputy Wilhelm Dittmann and Emil Barth for the Revolutionary Stewards ; from the SPD Ebert, Scheidemann and the Magdeburg deputy Otto Landsberg.

Scheidemann continued to serve as a leader in the Provisional Government which followed for the next several months, and following the meeting of the National Assembly in Weimar in February 1919, Ebert was appointed Reich President, and Scheidemann became Chancellor, in the Weimar Coalition with the German Democratic Party and the Catholic Center Party.

When Scheidemann resigned in June 1919 to protest the Treaty of Versailles, Bauer became Chancellor, serving until March 1920, when he resigned shortly after the failure of the Kapp Putsch.

He ran for Federal Chancellor in 2002, but his preferred CDU / CSU and FDP coalition lost against the SPD candidate Gerhard Schröder's SPD-Green alliance.

No Chancellor has ever come from the CSU, although Franz Josef Strauss and Edmund Stoiber were CDU / CSU candidates for Chancellor in the 1980 election and the 2002 election, respectively, which were both won by the SPD.

This was the situation in Germany in 2005 when Angela Merkel became Chancellor: in early elections, the CDU / CSU did not garner enough votes to form a majority coalition with the FDP ; similarly the SPD and Greens did not have enough votes to continue on with their formerly ruling coalition.

Socialist ( SPD ) leader Willy Brandt was Deputy Federal Chancellor and Foreign Minister.

He was replaced by Helmut Schmidt ( b. 1918 ), of the SPD, who served as Chancellor in 1974 – 1982.

After repeated victories in 1983, 1987, 1990 and 1994 he was finally defeated by a landslide that was the biggest on record, for the left in the 1998 federal elections, and was succeeded as Chancellor by Gerhard Schröder of the SPD.

Still, Genscher was one of the FDP's driving forces when, in 1982, the party switched sides from its coalition with the SPD to support the CDU / CSU in their Constructive Vote of No Confidence to have Helmut Schmidt replaced with Helmut Kohl as Chancellor.

The government formed by Kiesinger remained in power for nearly three years with the SPD leader Willy Brandt as Deputy Federal Chancellor and Foreign Minister.

* Willy Brandt ( SPD )-Vice Chancellor and Minister of Foreign Affairs

After England, Germany was the first European country to pass labour laws ; Chancellor Bismarck's main goal being to undermine the Social Democratic Party of Germany ( SPD ).

Though Kohl's election was done according to the Basic Law, some voices criticized the move as the FDP had fought its 1980 campaign on the side of the SPD and even placed Chancellor Schmidt on some of their campaign posters.

However, this step was condoned by the German Federal Constitutional Court as a legal instrument and was again applied ( by SPD Chancellor Gerhard Schröder and his Green allies ) in 2005.

* Helmut Schmidt ( SPD ) – Chancellor

* Helmut Schmidt ( SPD ) – Chancellor

* Helmut Schmidt ( SPD ) – Chancellor

This was the case with Chancellor Gerhard Schröder from 1999 until he resigned the chairmanship of the SPD in 2004.

Consequently, a grand coalition with the SPD took over government under CDU Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger.

In 1969 Willy Brandt became German Chancellor as head of a SPD / FDP government.

The CDU / CSU managed to get the FDP to defect from its coalition with the SPD in 1982, and thus CDU leader Helmut Kohl became Chancellor of West Germany.

In the " Grand Coalition " government of Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger ( CDU ) and Foreign Minister Willy Brandt ( SPD ) Heinemann was Minister of Justice ( 1966 – 69 ).

* Robert Schmidt ( SPD )-Vice Chancellor and Reconstruction Minister

In December 1982, the new Chancellor Helmut Kohl ( CDU ), recently elected in a successful motion of no confidence against Helmut Schmidt ( SPD ) deliberately lost a vote of confidence in the Bundestag, in order to obtain a clearer majority in new general elections.

Finance Minister Helmut Schmidt ( SPD ) formed a coalition and he served as Chancellor from 1974 to 1982.

This included staging massive street demonstrations intended to destabilize the Weimar government, led by the centrists of the SPD under Chancellor Friedrich Ebert.
