Someone was trying to kill him, years ago. The same year they were trying to kill Oskar Lafontaine. Both "assassins" were mentally ill and had a therapist. If I remember right, Schäuble knew his almost assassin.
What that was all about? I don´t know. Kohl and Lafontaine (together) visited Schäuble in the hospital, after the attack.
