Meet Angela Merkel's husband, who rarely appears in the media (Photo)

He's married to Germany's most powerful wife. But chemistry professor Joachim Sauer does not want the light of media designers. Many do not even know in Germany what he looks like.

Drawn and not always readable, you could describe Angela Merkel. It seems that this quality matches her husband's, Joachim Sauer, who also does not look for the media scene. Its public appearances next to Merkel, in addition to joint visits to opera, such as in Bajrot, are rare. He never speaks about politics.

With Joachim Sauer, there is no media presence of the type “First Lady” as in the United States. But even compared to former Chancellors' partners, like Doris- Schroeder -Kepf, the wife of Gerhard Schöder or Hannelore Kohl, the wife of Helm Kohl, Merkel's husband appears less in the media. Discussions with journalists he flatly refuses.

Unbeknownst to Obedience
Fear does not play a role here, simply Joachim Sauer will not be reduced to the wife of Chancellor Angela Merkel. That's not even necessary, because Joachim Sauer is a known chemist of the quantum world, who has received a number of estimates.

Prof's career. Dr. Dr.h.c. Joachim Sauer began in 1967 after completing his chemistry studies at the Lost University in Berlin. In the former German Democratic Republic, The GDR, he was among the few researchers with an international reputation that were not part of the SED, the Socialist Unity Party. After several stations, he is heading back today to the University of Losoldt the Quantic Chemistry.

When Angela Merkel was told in 2015 that she could receive the Nobel Peace Prize for refugee welfare culture in researchers ' circles, she was told that she previously received the Nobel Prize in chemistry, Joachim Sauer. Barack Obama eagerly called Joachim Sauer at the joint meetings <x0-professor”.

A Good Adviser
Joachim Sauer met Angeal Merkel in the 1980s at the Berlin Academy of Sciences. They were married in 1998, for both of them the second marriage. Sawer has two boys from his first marriage. Otherwise there's not much data on the private person, Joachim Sauer. More well known is what Merkel says about it: “We don't talk indefinitely about politics only, but he's not directly a good adviser.” The couple link their passion for opera and nature, for several years in summer they travel on vacation in South Tyrol. /Deutsche Welle
