English summary: After Charles de Gaulle, Francois Mitterrand is regarded as the most important French politician since the end of World War II. His election as President of the Republic in 1981 brought about the first transfer of power after 23A years in the Fifth Republic, to the left-wing Socialist-Communist alliance. During his 14-year presidency, important reforms were passed, some of which are still in place today & including the abolition of the death penalty, decentralization, and retirement at age 60. Adolf Kimmel presents, on the one hand, Mitterrand=s efforts to ensure national independence and achieve close Franco-German cooperation, and on the other his adherence to the principles of Gaullist foreign policy. In clear contours, he portrays a politician who was as inscrutable and changeable as he was controversial as a personality – the reason he has also been called the Sphinx. German description: Francois Mitterrand gilt, neben Charles de Gaulle, als der bedeutendste franzosische Politiker seit dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges. Haufig als Sphinx bezeichnet, war er eine ebenso undurchschaubare, wandlungsfahige wie umstrittene Personlichkeit. Seine Wahl zum Staatsprasidenten 1981 hat nach 23 Jahren den ersten Machtwechsel der V. Republik hin zur sozialistisch-kommunistischen Linksunion herbeigefuhrt. Wahrend seiner 14-jahrigen Prasidentschaft wurden wichtige Reformen beschlossen, die bis heute bestehen – so auch die Abschaffung der Todesstrafe, die Dezentralisierung, die Rente mit 60 Jahren. Adolf Kimmel zeigt einerseits das Bemuhen Mitterrands fur die nationale Unabhangigkeit und eine enge deutsch-franzosische Zusammenarbeit auf und andererseits sein Festhalten an den Prinzipien der gaullistischen Auaenpolitik.
