Wirtschaftswunder

Wirtschaftswunder (Jerman: [ˈvɪʁt.ʃaftsˌvʊndɐ] ^ⓘ, "keajaiban ekonomi"), juga dikenal sebagai Keajaiban di Sungai Rhine, adalah istilah yang menjelaskan rekonstruksi dan perkembangan ekonomi Jerman Barat dan Austria yang begitu cepat setelah Perang Dunia II.^[1]^[2] Istilah ini digunakan pertama kali oleh The Times tahun 1950.^{[butuh rujukan]}

Hal ini dimulai dengan mengganti mata uang Reichsmark dengan Deutsche Mark (juga Schilling di Austria), kemudian diikuti dengan inflasi rendah yang bertahan lama bersamaan dengan pertumbuhan industri yang luar biasa dipimpin oleh Kanselir Konrad Adenauer dan menteri ekonominya, Ludwig Erhard.^[1] Di Austria, penggunaan tenaga kerja efisien juga menjadi motor pertumbuhan ekonomi.

Era pertumbuhan ekonomi yang luar biasa ini menjadikan Jerman dan Austria dari negara yang porak-poranda akibat perang menjadi negara maju di Eropa modern. Saat berdirinya Pasar Bersama Eropa tahun 1957 pertumbuhan ekonomi Jerman berbanding terbalik dengan kondisi di Britania Raya yang tengah mengalami kesulitan.
