Born: April 3, 1930, Ludwigshafen [Died] June 16, 2017. Ludwigshafen German politician. Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) (1982-90), Chancellor of Germany (1990-98). At the age of 17, he joined the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). In 1958, he obtained his doctorate in political science from the University of Heidelberg. In 1959, he was elected to the Rhineland-Palatinate state parliament, and in 1969, he became the state's premier and vice-chairman of the CDU. In June 1973, he was selected to succeed Rainer Baltzell as party leader. At first, he was active in the small state of Rhineland-Palatinate, so he was not well known both in and outside the country, but after he became party leader, he announced a centrist approach and gradually gained popularity. In 1982, he succeeded in forming a coalition with the Free Democratic Party (FDP), which was in a coalition government with the Social Democratic Party (SPD), and forced the Schmidt government to resign with a constructive no-confidence motion, becoming Chancellor. In the following general election in 1983, he led the coalition government to victory and promoted a centrist approach. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989, he took the initiative in unifying East and West Germany, and achieved the feat of German unification on October 3, 1990 (see German unification issue). He also played an active role as a standard-bearer for European integration. He held the government for 16 long years, but was defeated by the SPD led by Gerhard Schröder in the general election in 1998 and resigned. In December 1998, he was awarded the title of "Honorary Citizen of Europe" at the European Union (EU) meeting in recognition of his achievements in European integration. In 1999, a scandal was revealed, and he resigned as honorary leader of the CDU in 2000. call |
