Although Angela Merkel was born in the West (Hamburg), the family moved to the GDR a short time later. There she grew up and studied physics. During the fall of communism in 1989, she became known as a pioneer of "Democratic Awakening. In 1990 she joined the CDU, where she experienced a rapid rise as an East German. In 1994, she was appointed federal minister by helmut Kohl, which came as a complete surprise. A few years later, she used Kohl's courageous distancing to play her way forward as a clean woman and tidy woman in the matted CDU and thus take over the party chairmanship.
