Angela Merkel (born 1954) is a German physicist and Christian Democratic politician who served as chancellor from 2005 to 2021, the first woman to hold that office. Her pragmatic, incremental leadership gave her a central role in European crisis management, while decisions on austerity, migration, energy, and Russia remain contested.
