Rainer Maria Woelki (born 18 August 1956) is a German Cardinal of the Catholic Church.
•
However, within the same year the creation of Baselios Cleemis Thottunkal and Luis Antonio Tagle as cardinals in November 2012 made Woelki the third youngest cardinal.
•
On 2 July 2011 Pope Benedict XVI ratified Woelki's election by the cathedral chapter of Berlin and appointed him Archbishop of Berlin.
•
One of Archbishop Woelki's first tasks was to prepare for the arrival of Pope Benedict XVI to Berlin in September 2011 on his state visit to Germany, his third visit to his home country since he was elected as Pope in 2005, the first as a state visit.
