Heribert Hellenbroich was briefly president of the German foreign intelligence service, the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), in August 1985.[1]

Hellenbroich was a long-serving head of the domestic intelligence agency, the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV), but was forced to resign almost immediately after moving over to the BND when a long-standing close subordinate defected to East Germany.[2]
