Olaf goes, Friedrich comes
Only this Monday does the Hamburg reside in the Chancellery, on Tuesday his successor Friedrich Merz will move into his office on the seventh floor, then it has dropped out. His cabinet had already said goodbye to each other on the day of the constituent meeting of the Bundestag at a dinner together. That was in March. He has already completed the last trip as Chancellor – of course to France’s President Emmanuel Macron.
This is what his last working day looks like:
