How did Germany avoid great inflation in 1979?

One of thebiggest successes and puzzles in central banking history is Bundesbank – Germany’s Central Bank. Success as it managed inflation really well when most central banks struggled and puzzle as it is the only central bank to have been successful using monetary targets ( it means they targeted growth in money supply which was also the main idea by Friedman)

I came across this superb short paper from Otmar Issing where he discusses how Bundesbank was successful in managing inflation. Nice reading.
