Manfred Rommel (24 December 1928 – 7 November 2013) was a German politician belonging to the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), who served as mayor of Stuttgart from 1974 until 1996. Rommel's policies were described as tolerant and liberal, and he was one of the most popular municipal politicians in Germany.
Rommel's family put pressure on him to leave Stemmer and return to his fiancée Lucie Mollin, whom he soon married. Stemmer died in 1928, when Rommel's wife Lucie was pregnant with the couple's son Manfred. Her cause of death was given as pneumonia, though it is generally accepted that she probably committed suicide.

I have deleted this: "Chancellor Helmut Kohl appointed Rommel supervisor to the Franco-German Affairs succeeding Gerhard Stoltenberg in 1995, a post he held until 1999, leaving his position to Rudolf Von Thadden" because it is unclear what it means.
