According to information from the “Bild” newspaper, they are said to be a couple: Berlin’s governing mayor Kai Wegner and the education senator Katharina Günther-Wünsch, both CDU. Kai Wegner recently announced his separation from the mother of his two younger children. He also has a child from his first marriage. Günther-Wünsch also has three children and has been separated for some time. Neither wanted to comment on the rumors, Wegner referred to his privacy and hired a media lawyer. Politician couples are not uncommon: we take a look at prominent examples.
Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz also found great love within his party: he has been married to the SPD politician Britta Ernst since 1998. A look at the USA also shows that love in the workplace does not stop at politics. The most prominent examples are certainly Bill and Hillary Clinton. He had only been President of the USA for a few days when she took up her first political job as a senator in New York in 2001. He later supported her presidential candidacy.
Almost every party has prominent lovers
The former Vice Chancellor and Federal Minister Franz Müntefering married his office employee Michelle Schumann in 2009. The SPD politician has been a member of the Bundestag since 2013. The Bundestag members Wolfgang Stefinger, CSU, and Sepp Müller, CDU, also made their relationship public and said in 2023 that friendship also became love.
In 2014, Sahra Wagenknecht and Oskar Lafontaine, both of whom were still active members of the Left Party, married.
The former SPD Chancellor Gerhard Schröder and Doris Schröder-Köpf have now divorced, but she then had another SPD man at her side: from 2016 to 2022, the member of the Lower Saxony state parliament was in a relationship with the then Lower Saxony Interior Minister Oskar Pistorius.
The Green Party politicians Ralf Fücks and Marieluise Becks have also been married to each other since 2006 and have two daughters together.
