16 years in office
Merkel misses this most of her time as a chancellor
When Angela Merkel looks back on her chancellorship, she not only sees great world politics. Above all, she misses the little things, admits it at a award ceremony.
Angela Merkel (CDU) was Federal Chancellor for 16 years. Now she enjoys her free time, can go to the cinema, maintain your garden, take significantly more time for friendships. But there are still things that she misses:
The floral decorations in the Chancellery and “The Great Chancellor’s Kitchen” are the most lacking ex-Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel since she left office. Flower bouquets were wonderfully arranged there every day, the 70-year-old enthused at a award ceremony for her book “Freiheit” in Baden-Baden.
“You came in there, you had a difficult day ahead of you, and it was always really well decorated.” She even knew that she would miss the flowers in terms of office.

It is a bit more banal in the kitchen. “I have to get my food back now,” said Merkel when asked by a student. Bundestag president Julia Klöckner (CDU) in her eulogy had told that she once raved about Merkel from her Thermomix, in which she prepared soups of all kinds. Merkel only replied dryly: “I can cook.”
