Friedrich Merz is a German politician.

Friedrich’s father, Joachim, was a judge who was born in Wriezen, Brandenburg, to Ernst Merz, a music teacher from Schartowsthal, Brandenburg (nowadays Czartow, Lubusz Voivodeship). When Ernst, who was a Leutnant in reserve, was called into the Army, the family moved to Breslau in 1938, before eventually settling in Westerstede after their expulsion in 1945.

Friedrich’s mother, Paula Sauvigny, was born in Brilon, North Rhine-Westphalia, to Josef Paul Sauvigny, who was mayor of Brilon from 1917 to 1937, and Theodora Klauk from Bad Sobernheim, Rhineland-Palatinate.

Josef’s parents were Karl Andreas Peter Sauvigny from Aachen, North Rhine-Westphalia, and Ferdinandine Wilhelmine Pauline Köster from Brilon, North Rhine-Westphalia.

Karl’s parents were Johann Joseph Sauvigny and Caroline Antonette Lisette Ulrich. Johann Joseph Sauvigny’s parents were the French emigrant Johann Franz Sauvigny and Josepha Wilhelmina Magdalena Borlatti. The Borlatti family stems from Italy and came to North Rhine-Westphalia in the mid-18th century.
