About the content of the film
Wolfgang Schäuble had an exceptionally long political career and shaped the fate of the Republic for decades. He played a decisive role in shaping German unity.
After an assassination attempt in 1990, he fought his way back to life. A mentally ill assassin shot him at an election campaign event. As a result, the then 48-year-old Wolfgang Schäuble was paralyzed from the third thoracic vertebra and was confined to a wheelchair.
He was ousted from the party leadership during the party donation scandal in 1999. However, the native of Freiburg (Breisgau) found his way back and became one of the most influential politicians alongside Chancellor Angela Merkel (69) as Minister of the Interior and Finance. His commitment to the European Union was characterized by passionate dedication and the conviction that Europe had a strong future.
