Career

On 27 March 2020, he announced, together with the minister of economy, Tarek Al-Wazir, the state's financial help in the Corona crisis for freelancers and small businesses, saying: "The fight against the Corona crisis will not fail because of money.

Death

Paramedics "were unable to initially identify the remains due to the extent of the injuries."[1]

"Investigators said an investigation on the scene confirmed the identity of the man as Schäfer and that the death was likely a suicide. Police did not immediately release further details of the case."[2]

Volker Bouffier stated that "We are all shocked and can hardly believe" that Schäfer died so "suddenly and unexpectedly."[2]
