The Chancellor of West Germany from 1974 to 1982, Helmut Schmidt, has died at the age of 96, his office has said.
Schmidt, a Social Democrat who led the country through some of its most difficult times, including economic turbulence and Cold War tensions, died on Tuesday at his house in Hamburg, according to German media reports.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel hailed Schmidt as “a political institution” and an authority “whose advice and judgement meant something to me”.
Merkel said Germans had developed a “deep affection” for the former chancellor and were “impressed by his personal humility as well as his sense of duty”.
In a tweet, European Parliament head Martin Schulz said: “I am deeply saddened by Helmut Schmidt’s death. He was an outstanding chancellor, his death is a loss for Germany and Europe,” Schmidt’s death was a loss for Germany and Europe.”
