I don't know much about post-War Chancellors, but I can say I do not like Willy Brandt. Helmut Schmidt, a German of Jewish ancestry on his father's side somewhat admitted the mistakes of immigration and multikulti. And Merkel...well she's pretty modern, so I've got no shit to throw at her.

Was Schmidt the Chancellor who opened the country to mass non white immigration?

What's bad about Brandt?

    Kohl certainly had to kowtow to economy bosses and the cowboy but his vision alone united Germany. That is rare today and that makes him probably the best one. The others are either a mixed bag (Schmidt, Brandt), horrible or difficult to gage (Adenauer)

      You can't really fault him for the exploitation because no leader now goes that far into the economical weeds. His advisors fucked up and in a better world they would be executed like they do it in China with administrative failure of the highest level. Why they did not take Königsberg I don't know. of course I would have wished a transaction of that kind to have taken place. On the other hand, Kohl wanted to send the Turks home, his senility (probably due to his fatness) prevented him from play a more prominent role in his final years.
