Christian Democratic Union (CDU)German political party advocating a free-market economy, limited social-welfare programs, and close relations with the United States. The CDU was founded in 1945 by a diverse group of former Weimar Republic (1919–33) politicians, including activists in the old Roman Catholic Centre Party, liberal and conservative Protestants, workers, intellectuals, and segments of the middle class. It held power from the establishment of the West German republic in 1949 until 1969. It regained power in 1982 under Helmut Kohl, who remained chancellor until 1998. In 1990 Kohl oversaw the reunification of Germany. The party is a strong supporter of European integration. See also Konrad Adenauer; Christian Democracy. How to thank TFD for its existence?
