Angela Merkel: Where she will settle after the end of her term

Her future place of residence Angela Merkel, when he will no longer be chancellor, occupies part of the country’s press, a few days before German elections.

In the Hamburg he had been speculating for months that he would move there. But this is not going to happen, since Merkel has other plans, reports the APE BPE, which is invoked by the dpa agency.

The German chancellor rejected today speculation about moving to Hamburg, according to the same sources. “I will not move to Hamburg either, as is sometimes said,” said the outgoing chancellor from Rügen (an island in northeastern Germany) during her farewell tour of her constituency.

Some Hamburg media have published rumors that Merkel intends to move to her hometown – more specifically: to the expensive district Blankeneze – after the end of her 16-year term.

Today, however, he announced that he will stay at Berlin and in the area Uckermark of the surrounding state of Brandenburg. “My former constituency is not far from there via the beautiful A20 motorway,” Merkel said.

Merkel’s family moved from the Federal Republic to the German Democratic Republic to the small town of Templin in the Uckermark region, where she still has a ντάτσα (s.s. holiday). “Compared to my constituency, Uckermark is not that different. “It just lacks the Baltic Sea,” Merkel said.

The outgoing chancellor and longtime party leader will attend her party’s election rally tonight. In her constituency, in the city of Stralsund in northeastern Germany, Merkel is taking part in a rally with the Christian Democrat and Christian Socialist (CDU / CSU) chancellor. Armin Lassett.

Merkel’s support for Lassett is limited

Lassett hopes for benefits from support Merkel’s presence there, given that so far the Chancellor, who is still popular In the polls, he took part only once in a Lasset rally – in Berlin in mid-August.

Since resigning from the presidency of the Christian Democratic Party (CDU), Merkel has been taking part in few only party events.
