Schröder has been married four times, to:
* Eva Schubach, married 1968, divorced 1972
* Anne Taschenmacher, married 1972, divorced 1984
* Hiltrud Hampel, aka Hillu, married 1984, divorced 1997
* Doris Köpf, married 1997
Schröder’s four marriages have earned him the nickname “Audi Man,” a reference to the 4-ring symbol of Audi motorcars. Another nickname is “The Lord of the Rings”.[7][8]
Schröder identifies himself as a Protestant, but does not appear to be religious. He did not add the optional phrase “So wahr mir Gott helfe” formula (so help me God) when sworn in as chancellor for his first term in 1998.[10]
Democrat Tom Lantos, chairman of the United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs and holocaust survivor, likened Schröder to a “political prostitute” for his recent behaviour. [15]
[edit] Freedom of the press
In April 2002 Schröder sued the DDP press agency for publishing an opinion of PR consultant Sabine Schwind saying that he “would be more credible if he didn’t dye his gray hair.” Soon the court decided to ban the media from suggesting that he colors his hair. [16]
During a heated dispute between Russia and Estonia in May 2007 over the removal of a Soviet-era war memorial from the centre of the Estonian capital, Tallinn, to a military cemetery Schröder defended the Kremlin’s reaction. He remarked that Estonia had contradicted “every form of civilised behaviour”.[17] Consequently, the Estonian government canceled a planned visit by Schröder in his function as chairman of Nord Stream AG.
