Stefan Kornelius was born in 1966 and is head of the foreign policy department of Su¨ddeutsche Zeitung. He met Merkel for the first time in 1989 in East Berlin when she was the Speaker of the Democratic Awakening.

After years working as a foreign correspondent in Washington, Kornelius returned to Berlin 1999 – just in time for the CDU funding scandal and Merkel’s rise to the head of CDU party.
