The Chancellor Willy Brandt Foundation extends a cordial invitation to visit the first multimedia on-line biography of Willy Brandt. It offers you an almost playful opportunity to examine the life and influence of Willy Brandt and to inform yourself about his contemporary background. To that purpose scientists and pedagogues have carefully written easily comprehensible texts, researched voluminous pictorial, audio and film material and assembled numerous documents from Brandt?s estate in the Archives of Social Democracy at the Friedrich Ebert Foundation.

The BWBS views its on-line biography as a dynamic project. In future new information will be added regularly. This comprehensive reference work is intended to illustrate for young people in particular Willy Brandt?s significance for and influence on peace, freedom and democracy and to awaken their interest in the history of the 20th century.
