Joachim Gauck is Notable.

Joachim Gauck is a German politician and civil rights activist who served as President of the Federal Republic of Germany from 2012 to 2017.

A former Lutheran pastor, he came to prominence as an anti-communist civil rights activist in East Germany.

1990 he was elected as a member of the Bundestag by the People's Chamber but resigned after a single day having been chosen by the Bundestag to be the first Federal Commissioner for the Stasi Records, serving from 1990 to 2000. He earned recognition in this position as a "Stasi hunter" and "tireless pro-democracy advocate", exposing the crimes of the communist secret police.

He was nominated as the candidate of some opposition parties for President of Germany in the 2010 election, but lost in the third draw to Christian Wulff, the candidate of the government coalition. Later, after Christian Wulff stepped down, Gauck was elected as President in the 2012 election.
