At the onset of the Cold War, Germany was divided among the Western and Eastern blocs. Germany was de facto divided into two countries and two special territories, the Saarland and divided Berlin.

During this period NATO-aligned West Germany and Warsaw Pact-aligned East Germany were divided by the inner German border. After 1961, West Berlin was physically separated from East Berlin as well as from East Germany by the Berlin Wall.

On November 9, 1989, the Berlin wall came down…

This situation ended when East Germany was dissolved and its five states joined the ten states of the Federal Republic of Germany along with the reunified city-state of Berlin. With the reunification of West and East Germany, the Federal Republic of Germany, with sixteen states, became known as “Germany”.

West Germany no longer exist.

Is Angela Merkel Germany’s President?

She is the German Chancellor.

In German politics, the Chancellor is equivalent to that of a prime minister in many other countries.

Who is the President of Germany?

Joachim Gauck is the President of Germany.

He became the President in 2012.
