Georg Ratzinger, the brother of former Pope Benedict who nurtured a very close relationship over decades to his sibling, has died at the age of 96 in the German town of Regensburg on Wednesday, the local archdiocese said.
In June, Benedict, aged 93, had spent five days in his native Germany to visit his ailing brother, who was also a priest.
Benedict was not present when his brother died because he had returned to Rome earlier, the archdiocese’s spokesman Clemens Neck said. “He died at his house in Regensburg today, surrounded by people close to him.”
