the personal life section covers that he has lived in germany for several years and his unesco engagement that sounded like an appropriate place to me but since you don't consider it appropriate there i've removed it from there a non german source making an obciously incorrect claim highest civilian award is not a rs about german awards the german source names the exact award he got and order of merit of the federal republic of germany tells the rest everyone in germany is aware of the level of the bundesverdienstkreuz that has been given to around a quarter million people so far so a german source won't discuss that it is not the highest level please bring a rs that he got the grand cross special class or accept the fact backed by a rs that he did not get the highest civilian award which is also highlighted by the fact that all sources agree that the person giving the award to him was only the german ambassador and not a member of the german government
