Schröder is 80: Scholz and the SPD leadership congratulate. Schröder will celebrate privately in Berlin on April 27th.
The guest list is still being kept under wraps. In 2014, the SPD honored its former chancellor and former chairman on his 70th birthday - shortly after the Russian annexation of Ukrainian Crimea - with a ceremony in the Berlin art museum Hamburger Bahnhof. That won't happen this time. Instead, Schröde will celebrate with friends in Berlin.
