This is a full personal name (a proper noun) referring to a specific historical individual; the sequence of given names and surname does not compose a semantic description about his role or dates. Even if learners know the individual name components, they cannot infer from them that he was a German statesman or Chancellor, so the referential meaning is not derivable from the constituents.

Etymology

He is usually known as Helmut Schmidt. He was a German leader who served as 'Chancellor of West Germany' from 1974 to 1982, so the name refers to that person.
