The current Pope Benedict XVI (Joseph Ratzinger), was born in 1927 at Marktl am Inn, a village in the state of Bavaria, Germany, near the Austrian border, in the Altötting district of Upper Bavaria.
Pope Benedict XVI was elected pope at the age of 78. He is the oldest person to have been elected pope since Clement XII in 1730.
The Pope has doctorate degrees in divinity and theology and he was a university professor.
Along with his native German, Benedict speaks fluent Italian, French, English, Spanish and Latin. He can read ancient Greek and biblical Hebrew.
Benedict plays the piano and has a preference for Mozart and Beethoven.
Pope Benedict XVI is the first pope to own an iPod.

Pope Benedict XVI, the last (and current) man elected Pope comes from Bavaria (Germany).
His immediate predecessor (the last one before this one), John Paul II, was from Poland.
