Angela Merkel

Angela Dorothea Merkel, born Angela Dorothea Kasner, is a German Christian Democrat politician.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, she became politically active in a democratic party that merged into the Christian Democratic CDU.
In 2005, she set two records simultaneously: she became the first ever female Chancellor and the first political leader of the reunified Germany from the former GDR.
She spends her little free time listening to opera, working in her vegetable garden, watching football and enjoying her weekend cottage with her husband, the chemist Joachim Sauer, whom she married in 1998.
