The Brandt I cabinet was the 9th government cabinet in the Federal Republic of Germany.
The Bundestag election for the 6th German Bundestag took place on September 28, 1969. This was followed by a deep turning point: for the first time in the 20-year history of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Union parties no longer provided the Federal Chancellor (although they have again and uninterruptedly formed the largest parliamentary group since the 1949 federal election ).

prehistory
On November 30, 1966 there was a change of Chancellor in the current legislative period : Federal Chancellor Ludwig Erhard resigned after the coalition of CDU / CSU and FDP broke up on questions of budget and tax policy.
Kurt Georg Kiesinger was elected as his successor (until then Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg); he formed a grand coalition of CDU / CSU and SPD ( Kiesinger cabinet ). Federal Foreign Minister and Vice Chancellor became the previous Governing Mayor of Berlin Willy Brandt . The appointment to the federal government was decisive for Willy Brandt to run again, contrary to a renunciation of a renewed candidacy for chancellor declared after the federal election in 1965 .
Brandt stood for the third time as candidate for chancellor of the SPD, Kiesinger for the first time for the CDU / CSU.
The 1969 election came out close. That night, Brandt and FDP leader Walter Scheel agreed to start coalition negotiations .
Changes
After almost nine months in office, Ralf Dahrendorf , the former Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs, moved to the European Commission as Commissioner for Trade with effect from July 1, 1970 at his own request . His successor was (after Hans Apel , Hans-Jürgen Junghans (at that time economics spokesman for the SPD parliamentary group) and others had rejected Karl Moersch .
After there had been speculation about the resignation of the Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister of Economics, Klaus Dieter Arndt , due to possible differences with Federal Economics Minister Schiller , he finally resigned on September 14, 1970 and devoted himself entirely to his office as President of the German Institute for Economic research . It was already clear in August 1970 that Philip Rosenthal would be his successor.
Since he was no longer able to support the growing spending requests of the other departments, Federal Finance Minister Alex Möller submitted his resignation on May 13, 1971. Thereupon Federal Economics Minister Karl Schiller also took over the management of the Federal Ministry of Finance as a so-called “ super minister ”. Also on May 13, 1971, the Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Minister of Finance, Gerhard Reischl , left office. The previous deputy chairman of the budget committee, Hans Hermsdorf , was appointed as his successor .
After the relationship between the Minister for Economic Affairs and Finance, Karl Schiller, and the Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Minister of Economics, Philip Rosenthal , had long been considered broken, Rosenthal resigned on the occasion of a renewed delay in drawing up a plan for employees to participate in productive capital. November 1971 back.
On January 24, 1972, Holger Börner was elected Federal Managing Director of the SPD. His successor in the office of Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Minister of Transport and Post and Telecommunications was Ernst Haar on February 7, 1972 .
After the independent Federal Education Minister Hans Leussink had already announced his resignation in January 1972, the previous Parliamentary State Secretary Klaus von Dohnanyi was appointed as the new Federal Minister for Education and Science on March 15, 1972 . Dohnanyi's successor in the office of Parliamentary State Secretary was Joachim Raffert .
After the resignation of the civil servant State Secretary Heinz Haller, Rainer Offergeld was appointed Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister of Economics and Finance on March 15, 1972 - primarily with responsibility for the stalled tax reform project.
On July 7, 1972, the Federal Minister of Economics and Finance, Karl Schiller, resigned after he had lost the support of Chancellor Brandt and had suffered a defeat in the Federal Cabinet the week before on a monetary policy issue. His successor was the previous Minister of Defense, Helmut Schmidt . The previous Federal Minister for Transport and Post and Telecommunications, Georg Leber , was appointed the new Federal Minister of Defense . Federal Building Minister Lauritz Lauritzen was also responsible for transport and post .
