Biography

Gustav Schmidt was the biological son of Ludwig Gumpel, and a young woman named Friederike Wenzel. It is known that Gustav's name was registered as Gustav Wenzel. He took the name Schmidt, however, from his adoptive family.[1]

He was a school teacher. He married Ludovica Koch. They had two sons:

  • Helmut Schmidt, who would become the 5th Bundeskanzler of the Bundesrepublik Deutschland,
  • Wolfgang Schmidt (born 1921; died 22 Sep 2006).

Gustav passed away in 1981 in Hamburg and is buried at Friedhof Ohlsdorf.[2][3][4]

Note: Helmut Schmidt wurde 1918 in Hamburg als ältester von zwei Söhnen des Lehrerehepaares Gustav Ludwig Schmidt (1888–1981) und Ludovica Schmidt (geb. Koch; 1890–1968) geboren. Sie wohnten bis 1931 in der Schellingstraße 9 in Hamburg.[5]
