Former Chancellor Helmut Kohl, the architect of German reunification, is intensive care at a clinic in southwestern Germany.

The 85-year-old has had surgery on his intestine.

Kohl, Germany’s longest serving post-war Chancellor, was one of Europe’s towering leaders.

He has been physically frail for years and is usually seen in a wheelchair.
