Why was the Deutsche Bundesbank designed to be independent of political control?

The Deutsche Bundesbank was designed to be independent of political control primarily to prevent a recurrence of the severe inflation that devastated Germany in 1922–23.1

During that period, the German government attempted to finance its expenditures by resorting to the printing press, which led to a catastrophic collapse of the mark and wiped out the savings of the middle class and pensioners. By establishing the Bundesbank as an autonomous institution, policymakers sought to ensure that monetary policy would remain focused on stability rather than being subject to the short-term political pressures that had previously encouraged fiscal irresponsibility. This independence allows the bank to prioritize the maintenance of currency stability, a role that was central to West Germany becoming a leading financial power in post-World War II Europe.123
