A prominent businessman whose father founded the Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft electrical-engineering company, Rathenau became a leading industrialist in the German Empire & early Weimar Republic and is thought to be the basis for the German Industrialist character in Robert Musil's The Man without Qualities. Rathenau strongly favored assimilation for German Jews; nonetheless he was hated and caricatured as an archetypal Jewish capitalist by the rabid anti-Semites in Ger many. During WWI Rathenau held senior posts in the Raw Materials Department of the War Ministry, as well as becoming chairman of AEG after his father's death in 1915. He played a leading role in putting Germany's economy on a war footing; his efforts ena bled Germany to continue its war effort for four years despite acute shortages of labor and raw materials. After the war Rathenau was one of the founders of the German Democratic Party (DDP). A moderate liberal, he rejected the wave of socialist thought that swept over Germany after its defeat in the war. In 1921 he was appointed Minister of Reconstruction, and in 1922 became Foreign Minister. His insistence that Germany should fulfill the terms of the Treaty of Versailles infuriated German nationalists . On June 24, 1922 he was assassinated by two right-wing military officers. [Adapted from the Wikipedia article on Rathenau 6-28-05].
