Biography of german president merkel
Merkel and the party she chairs, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), formed a coalition with two other parties in 2005, and the agreement installed the former physicist as head of government. Perhaps more notable than her gender is Merkel's background: she is the first person to lead a reunified Germany who comes from the formerly Communist eastern states, a division that endured for more than four decades following the end of Germany's defeat in World War II.
“My life changed completely in 1989,” Merkel said once at a rally, according to Judy Dempsey in the International Herald Tribune. “I have had many opportunities in the last 15 years. I would like to give my country back what I myself have gained in terms of the opportunities from reunification.”
Merkel was born Angela Dorothea Kasner on July 17, 1954, in Hamburg, Germany.
