In June 1963, U.S. President John F. Kennedy traveled through the Federal Republic of Germany; the journey took him to Cologne, Bonn, Frankfurt am Main, and West Berlin, among other places. The photograph shows a motorcade with motorcycle escort, lined by densely packed, jubilant spectators. American and German flags marked the route of travel. Kennedy’s visit to Germany took place in the context of the Cold War and was regarded as a demonstrative commitment by the United States to the Federal Republic and West Berlin.
