"His most notable achievement was the reconciliation between Germany and France, for which he and Aristide Briand received the Nobel Peace Prize. During a period of political instability and fragile, short-lived governments, he was generally seen as the most influential cabinet member in most of the Weimar Republic´s existence. During his political career, he represented three successive liberal parties; he was the dominant figure of the German People´s Party during the Weimar Republic." - (en.wikipedia.org 25.12.2019)
