Finally Angela Merkel has time - but her husband gets job abroad

The last days of Chancellor Angela Merkel are counted.The 16-year-old Merkel era passes and the 67-year-old finally has more time: for a relaxed time at home in the Uckermark, for hikes through South Tyrol or for activities with husband Joachim Sauer (72).But now that: of all things now, the quantum chemist is likely to compete abroad more often...

Married since 1998

Angela Merkel and Joachim Sauer have been married since 1998.But especially the time as Chancellor should have significantly impaired private life.Now that the two could push a quieter ball, Merkel's husband, who has been working as a professor at the Humboldt University at the Chair of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry since 1993.

He is a highly assessed professor in the field of science.It is pleased to be able to cooperate with him, quotes "colorful" from an official statement.It also means that Sauer is invited to seminars and congresses.He immediately accepted the invitation, which you are very happy and proud of.

For a while, Angela Merkel will probably still be at the top of the government - but as soon as a new government has been found, her schedule will probably be much empty.It is questionable whether she is accompanied by her husband on her trips abroad or lies alone in the Uckermark.
