## Bio

Born in December 1914, Karl Carstens came of age between two world wars. He entered politics in a divided Germany and rose through the ranks of West German public life. In 1979 he assumed the presidency, a largely ceremonial role that nonetheless carried symbolic weight in a nation still reckoning with its past and its place between East and West. He served a single five-year term, stepping down in 1984. He died in May 1992, three years after the Wall fell.
