Munich Security Conference: Who is Christoph Heusgen?

Christoph Heusgen was Angela Merkel’s foreign and security policy adviser for many years. At her side, he quickly learned to say little with many kind words. In his new job as head of the Munich Security Conference, the 67-year-old is different.

Organizing an event like the Munich Security Conference can be stressful: is the chancellor coming or not? Is everything prepared for the reception of the American Vice President? Are the headlights working? Is there enough to eat? Can all participants travel despite the verdi trade union strike? But nothing should have gotten on Christoph Heusgen’s nerves as much as the last ten minutes of the Champions League game between Paris St. Germain and Bayern Munich on Tuesday evening.
