De Gaulle and Adenauer leaving Reims Cathedral, 1962

De Gaulle and Adenauer leaving Reims Cathedral, 1962
“. . . Charlemagne, Charles the great, today stands for the friendship between France and Germany. That is why always to a true European, now plays the major role in the German public memory of Charlemagne. . . .

If I were, in my imagination to place Charlemagne in a particular setting today, I would locate him in the Cathedral of Reims in 1962, where Adenauer and Charles de Gaule celebrated the new brotherhood between the French and the German nations. That was a moment in which Charlemagne, Charles the Great was absolutely present, giving legitimation for both statesmen, in a European way which Transcends national interests. ~ Horst Bredekamp ~ Page 208
