I did find this at the German site.

Government
Press release Nr.50
Telegram of condolence of Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder at the American president George W. Bush for the crash of the space shuttle Columbia

SA, 01.02.2003


Dear Mr. Praesident,

with frightening I experienced from the terrible misfortune, with which today all seven astronauts of the space shuttle Columbia died. Again your country had to experience painfully that the study of space can be connected with human victims.

I would like to express you and the American people my low-felt condolence and ask you to convey to the families and members of the courageous men and women killed with the crash my sincere sympathy.

Gerhard Schroeder
Federal Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany
