Theodor Heuss (German: ['te?odo??? 'h??s]; 31 January 1884 – 12 December 1963) was a German liberal politician who served as the first president of West Germany from 1949 to 1959.
His cordial nature – something of a contrast to the stern character of chancellor Konrad Adenauer – largely contributed to the stabilization of democracy in West Germany during the Wirtschaftswunder years.
Before beginning his career as a politician, Heuss had been a political journalist.
