Summary/Abstract: This article examines Egon Bahr’s activity during the Great Coalition of the late sixties. While working for the Federal Foreign Office, Bahr became the author of several important memorandums about the European security issue and Germany’s place in Europe. He considered himself a realist and believed that in order to surpass the status quo one first needed to accept it. His views were greatly influenced by events such as the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia and his recommendations paved the way for the „new eastern policy“ implemented from 1969.
