Was Chernobyl a German head of state?

I cannot find any evidence that there was ever a German head of state by that name. It's a Ukrainian word (for a plant, the one that's usually called "mugwort" in English), making it fairly unlikely that a high German official would have such a name.Chernobyl is most famously the name of a city near the worst nuclear power plant disaster ever (at least so far). Chernobyl (both the city and the power plant) are in northern Ukraine, near the border with Belarus. The accident happened in 1986, and access to Chernobyl (again, both the city and the former power plant, but especially the plant itself) are still restricted and limited for health and safety reasons. It's estimated that it may be 20,000 years before radiation in the area drops back down to normal "safe" background levels.
