The European Union did not officially come into existence until the 1st of November 1993. Prior to that it was called the European Community. Before that it was the European Economic Community, which was founded in 1957. An organisation called the European Coal and Steel Community was started in 1952, which is what you may be referring to. The countries that started it and the European Economic Community were France, West Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands.
The European Union as it is currently constituted was established by treaty in February 1984, although it's predecessor, the European ECONOMIC Community, was set up following the Treaty of Rome in 1957.
Economic unity led to peace in Western Europe post WWII, but not right after (1946). France initiated the establishment of an economic unity between France and Germany, ultimately becoming the European Union. France wanted to economically bond the two countries together as to make a future war physically impossible to happen. The European Steel and Coal Community was created that eventually gave birth to the European Economic Community which eventually gave birth to the European Union.
Germany was one of the founding members that started the Europen community back in 1957 along with France, Italy, Netherlands, Luxembourg and Belgium. Click on the link below for the history of the European Union.
