Horst Köhler , who was head of state from 2004 to 2010 , died Saturday morning in Berlin .
He was little known to most Germans and a stranger to front-line politics before he won the presidency.
He built up high popularity ratings once in the job, something that he achieved in part by positioning himself as an outsider to the country's political elite.
He resigned in dramatically abrupt fashion on May 31, 2010 , citing criticism over radio interview.
President Steinmeier wrote a letter of condolence to Köhler ’s wife, Eva Louise .
“We have lost a highly esteemed and extremely popular person who achieved great things — for our country and in the world,” he wrote.
Steinmeier: “Above all his approachability, his infectious laughter and his optimism, his belief in the strength of our country.. won him so many hearts”.
