Heinrich von Brentano di Tremezzo (6 June 1904 – 14 November 1964) was a German politician of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). He served as Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs from 1955 to 1961. ==Personal life== Brentano was born in Offenbach am Main, the son of the Centre politician Otto von Brentano, a member of the 1919 Weimar National Assembly. The Brentano family, of Italian (Lombard) origin, had settled in the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt in the 17th century and were recognized as Hessian nobles, with close contact to important figures of the German Romanticism, including Goethe, Savigny and Arnim. He was related to famous German poets such as Clemens Brentano (1778-1842) and Bettina von Arnim (1785–1859). The author Bernard von Brentano (1901-1964) was his elder brother. Upon his ''Abitur'' degree in 1922, Heinrich von Brentano studied jurisprudence at the University of Munich and took his first and second ''Staatsexamen'' in 1925 and 1929. He received his doctorate from the University of Giessen and from 1932 worked as a lawyer in Darmstadt, from 1943 until 1945 as a prosecutor in Hanau. Brentano remained a bachelor throughout his life, living with his mother up to her death in 1948. In 1961, rumors circulated about his homosexuality, to which Adenauer drily replied: "He has not hit on me yet."〔(''Schwule: Die rosa Normalität'' ); quote: "''Bei mir hat er es noch nit versucht.''"; Focus; 26 July 2004; retrieved on 19 November 2009.〕 Brentano died of cancer at the age of 60. He was buried at ''Waldfriedhof'' Darmstadt. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heinrich von Brentano」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
