Forgive me my ignorance, but who's that man in the picture in the beginning (and the ending, too) of the movie?

Well, I don't know... Now, I put the DVD and I saw a thing that's chilling me.
And about this man, I have been thinking about him during this day... he could be the director of Blue Angel a wonderful movie as well, Josef Von Sternberg, Lola is loosely based on his movie, can be a kind of homage, tribute.

I was going to point out that it's Konrad Adenauer, the chancellor (head of government) of West Germany from 1949 to 1963, but that's already been pointed out.
I will simply add that the BRD Trilogy is Fassbinder's strident critique of the Adenauer years, particularly 1) the economic system established by Adenauer's economic minster, Ludwig Erhard, and 2) the policy of West German rearmament adopted by Adenauer's government.
Obviously, there's more to it than that, but those are the two most overt social-political criticisms. The movies are full of (snide or cynical) comments about German rearmament, German participation in NATO, and the so-called social market economic system that was supposed to be a more socially-minded version of free market economics.
