German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has been re-elected for a second five-year term.
The 66-year old Social Democrat and former foreign minister received more than two thirds of the votes cast by an electoral assembly made up of politicians, civil society figures and celebrities. Steinmeier had the support of all three parties of Germany's governing coalition. Nominally the head of state, the role of president is largely ceremonial in German politics.
In his acceptance speech, Steinmeier urged Germany and its allies to do everything to prevent war in Europe.
