Erich Honecker was a politician of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and from 1971 to 1989 the Chairman of the State Council and General Secretary of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED).

Under Honecker's leadership, the GDR was controlled by an authoritarian government closely tied to the Soviet Union.

His era ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, and Honecker was later charged for his role in political repression, but was not brought to trial due to health reasons.
