    The Cardinals Of The Roman Catholic Church

    I suppose it depends if you count Ratzinger or not. Anyway, he is the last man standing from that generation. Since Ratzinger is no longer a cardinal, we can assume that Arns was the last living one. But of course, also Raztinger has been created by the same Pope, in the last concistory he hold.
