Abstract
Adenauer's major political mistakes towards the end of his political career are fairly well remembered but hardly anyone recalls his disastrous attempt to set up a foundation for refugees and expellees prior to the 1953 general elections. This article explains the reasons for the establishment and its failure but also the reasons why this blunder is hardly remembered anymore although it is a prime example of Adenauer's thinking and realpolitische acting.
