New Economic Minister
Katherina Reiche makes her relationship with Karl-Theodor to Guttenberg public
You could become the new dream couple of political business: Katherina Reiche opened her relationship with Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg shortly before her appointment as Minister of Economic Affairs.
The international riding tournament Chio in Aachen made headlines last summer. Not necessarily because of the horses. Rather, there were two visitors who sat side by side in the stands and heated up the rumor mill: the former Defense and Economic Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg and the CDU politician Katherina Reiche.
“To Guttenberg, with a new woman, his side shows up at his side,” NTV.de headed at the time and referred to a report by the “Bild” newspaper, according to which the two have been “for several months”.
Katherina Reiche is said to become Minister of Economics
The politicians have never confirmed their relationship – until today. This Monday, the lawyer of Guttenberg and Reiche, Christian Schertz, has now officially made the relationship. His clients had a relationship some time ago, said Schertz of the German Press Agency. At the same time, he asked to respect the families’ privacy.
With the nomination of the 51-year-old as Federal Minister of Economics, Friedrich Merz was a surprise, almost nobody had the Brandenburg native on the piece. Reiche takes over the post that your current partner already held in 2009. At that time, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg was also Minister of Economics before taking over the Ministry of Defense in autumn of the year.
In addition, Guttenberg and rich have further similarities: they already have a marriage. The CSU politician had been married to Stephanie zu Guttenberg since 2000. The two were considered a dazzling couple and were temporarily referred to as the “German Kennedys”. They have two daughters together, born in 2001 and 2002. In September 2023, the separation became known. Katherina Reiche has been married to CDU politician Sven Petke since 2003, with whom she has three children.
After a plagiarism affair, Guttenberg withdrew from politics in 2011, and now he works as a consultant and entrepreneur. Reiche had recently turned back to politics. After leaving the Bundestag in 2015, she worked in the free economy and was most recently chairwoman of Western energy.
