His trip is classified as a "working visit," but Honecker will be accorded most of the trappings normally reserved for grander state visits, including lunch with President Richard von Weizsacker, meetings with leaders of the Bundestag and five hours of talks with Kohl. Bonn quickly acceded to one Honecker request: coffee and cake at the Essen home of Berthold Beitz, chairman of the Krupp steel empire, with whom he has developed...
