Article
Sigmund Werner Paul Jähn ( German: [jɛ:n]; 13 February 1937 – 21 September 2019) was a German pilot, cosmonaut, and Generalmajor (equivalent to a Brigadier General in Western armies) in the National People's Army of the GDR. He was the first German to fly into space as part of the Soviet Union's Interkosmos program in 1978.
He was the very last living East German holder of the title Hero of the German Democratic Republic when he died in 2019.
