As a german student, i don't really remember the time before merkel.
I was 5 years old when Merkel took the CDU-chair. It's really the end of an era.
I have always wondered how merkel can do such a hard job for so long. She is 64 and looks very healthy.

I want to see a list of all countries sorted by the number of their former presidents that are still alive. Could be an interesting metric coupling democracy and longevity.
