During his term of office, he headed the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications and the Federal Department of Finance. He was German President in 1978. After he announced his resignation on October 3, 1983 as of December 31, Willi Ritschard died completely unexpectedly on a hike due to heart failure.
