Biography[link]

Roman Herzog was born in Landshut, Bavaria in 1934 to a Protestant family.

He studied law in Munich and took his first juristic state exam in 1957. In 1958, he gained the title Doctor juris and worked as an assistant at the University of Munich until 1964, where he also passed his second juristic state exam. For his paper Die Wesensmerkmale der Staatsorganisation in rechtlicher und entwicklungsgeschichtlicher Sicht ("Characteristics of State Organization from a Juristic and Developmental-Historical Viewpoint"), in 1964 he was awarded the title of professor, a title of academic distinction in Germany, and taught at the University of Munich until 1966. From 1966 he taught state law and political science as a full professor at the Free University of Berlin (FUB). In 1969, he accepted a chair of public law at the German University of Administrative Sciences and was university president from 1971 to 1972.

In 1973 his political career began as a representative of the state (Land) of Rhineland-Palatinate with the Federal government in Bonn. He was minister for culture and sports in the Baden-Württemberg State Government from 1978. In 1980 he was elected to the State Parliament (Landtag) and took over the state Ministry of the Interior.

Roman Herzog has also always been active in the Evangelical Church in Germany. Until 1980, he was head of the Chamber for Public Responsibility of this church, and, since 1982, he has been a member of the synod of the Evangelical Church in Germany.

In 1983 he became a judge at the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany (Bundesverfassungsgericht) in Karlsruhe. From 1987 until 1994, he also served as the president of this Court. During his term as President of the Constitutional Court, Herzog was elected President of Germany by the Federal Assembly (Bundesversammlung) on 23 May 1994. Herzog took office as Federal President on 1 July 1994. He retained this position until 30 June 1999 and did not seek reelection. Upon the end of his five year term as Head of State, Herzog was succeeded by Johannes Rau.

In 1994, as President of Germany, Herzog participated in the commemorations of the 50th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising during the Nazi occupation of Poland. In a widely commended speech, he paid tribute to the Polish fighters and people and asked Poles for "forgiveness for what has been done to you by the Germans".^[1]

Between December 1999 and October 2000, Herzog, now former President of Germany, was chair of the European Convention which drafted the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.

His wife, Christiane Herzog, died on 19 June 2000. He later married Alexandra Freifrau von Berlichingen.
