 | | Rathenau was the industrialist, intellectual, and statesman who helped put the German economy on a war footing during World War I and who, as minister of reconstruction and foreign minister after the war, negotiated the Treaty of Rapallo with the Soviet Union, breaking Germany's diplomatic isolation. |
 | | After Rathenau's assassination in 1922 by right-wing extremists, his library and papers were maintained by the Rathenau Foundation in his former house in Berlin-Grunewald. |
