Spontaneously, he looks very German (lowish but broad head, features of slightly Dinaricized Alpinism in the face).

Right. He is German (from Bavaria): "Ludwig Erhard (February 4, 1897–May 5, 1977) was a German politician (CDU) and Chancellor of Germany from 1963 until 1966. Born in Fürth, Germany, from 1913 to 1916 Erhard was a commercial apprentice. After his apprenticeship he worked as retail salesman in his father's draper's shop". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Erhard |

But he doesn't look particularly Franconian. They are often more leptomorph. But - as often i central Europe - many types are found. I have met loads of Franconians that look just like Czechs.

Some settlements there seem to have a Slavonic origin, for example Windisch-Eschenbach.

Windisch-Eschenbach is in Upper Palatinate (Oberpfalz) and Bavarian in language and history. But you are nevertheless right, there is a number of geographical names furter west pointing in that direction (Regnitz, Pegnitz, Schesslitz, Windischletten, Siegritz, Zedersitz and many more). However, I firmly believe that the Alpinid element in central Europe has nothing to do with the Slavs.

Ah silly me, Windischeschenbach is indeed Bavarian. I wanted to mention Windsbach, which is very far away from Bohemia, while Upper Palatinate is pretty close to the Czech border.
