Henri Sends Letter of Condolence for Former German President

On the 10th, Grand Duke Henri sent a letter of condolence to the current German President Joachim Gauck at the passing of former President Roman Herzog. Herzog served as President from 1994 to 1999 and had previously served as a judge on the Federal Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht) and then later as president of the Court.

The text of the letter:

Sehr geehrter Herr Bundespräsident,

Gemeinsam mit der Großherzogin möchte ich Ihnen hiermit mein tief empfundenes Beileid anlässlich des Todes von Altpräsident Roman Herzog ausdrücken.

Seinen Besuch in Luxemburg 1994 behalten wir in guter Erinnerung.

Wir möchten Sie bitten, den Angehörigen in unseren Namen unser Mitgefühl auszusprechen.

Henri
Großherzog von Luxemburg

And in translation: 

Mr President,

Together with the Grand Duchess, I would like to express my heartfelt condolences on the occasion of the death of former President Roman Herzog.

His visit to Luxembourg in 1994 we remember well.

We would like to ask you to express our compassion to the relatives in our name.

Henri
Grossherzog of Luxembourg
