Answer
The answer is only weeks. Egon Krenz's tenure as General Secretary of the Socialist Unity Party of East Germany (SED) was very brief, lasting only from October 18, 1989, to December 3, 1989. His short time in this role coincided with a period of significant political change and upheaval in East Germany, leading to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany.
