Von 1974 bis 1982 war er als Regierungschef einer sozialliberalen Koalition nach dem Rücktritt Willy Brandts der fünfte Bundeskanzler der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Ab 1961 war Schmidt Senator der Polizeibehörde in Hamburg. In dieser Funktion wurde er während der Sturmflut 1962 als Krisenmanager weit über Hamburg hinaus bekannt und geschätzt.
