Federal President
Why a woman belongs to Bellevue Castle in 2027








Is there a woman in the highest office in the state for the first time in Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier? Three prominent politicians can be found in this star clear words.

The other day at “Miosga” Carsten Linnemann once had an idea: “I would be happy if there is a Federal President who will vote soon. And such a Federal President would do Germany well.”

It was a surprising commitment, one that raises questions: is that serious-or just crisis-pra? In the new federal government, key positions have so far been preferred with men, but women, on the other hand, have often been resigned with secondary items. Only one woman is represented in the coalition committee, the most important body of black and red.

Fewer women in the Bundestag
“I’m afraid that the zeitgeist turns”

Will the first Federal President go to Bellevue Castle, the Federal President Castle in 2027?

Former Chancellor Olaf Scholz already in the last year in star-InterView challenged: One who wants to help that this requirement does not remain a lip service is Bundestag President Julia Klöckner. The current number two in the country sums it up: “Twelve men have been on the list of Federal President since 1949. Klöckner welcomes that the coalition partners are now promising a woman’s nomination: “It has been a long overdue step.”

The Greens do it: The top of the parliamentary group consists of Britta Haßelmann (left) and Katharina Dröge (right) only women

But not only Klöckner sees the urgency. Britta Haßelmann, leader of the Greens parliamentary group, asks critically: “Why now? And why is this question arises more than 75 years after the foundation of the Federal Republic?

More women in politics: So far nothing but empty words

Haßelmann also complains about the previous practice: “There were much too often candidates who were set up, although it was long clear that a man would take over again. It is time to finally end it.” She continues to emphasize: “Women are over half of this society. Where women are missing, their view of things is also lacking.”

“Women are compromise -competent” – why the men’s government is a problem

Another politician who plays with her field of defense where “man” could not imagine any women for a long time, is Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann. The FDP politician and long-time chairman of the Defense Committee has a proposal on how to solve the problem described by Haßelmann: “Why in 2027 not even women as a candidate? There are enough personalities who are suitable. The gentlemen may have recognized over the past 78 years that not only they are suitable for it.”

A woman has to look good, not a man

Strack-Zimmermann points out the double standards in public: “Woe, a woman performs less well or looks unfavorable on television, then this becomes the subject, while some colleagues in a talk show socks socks to the audience.”

This unequal treatment has consequences: “Women learn early to assert themselves, but at some point many are no longer in the mood for this political stage.” A fact that weakens the political offspring and the roles of young people.

The Union and its image of women

Britta Haßelmann also sees an example of the ongoing inequality in the new power structure of the federal government: “How overdue there is such a signal.

And while Haßelmann’s Bündnis 90/The Greens are considered a pioneer, the women consistently push forward, Strack-Zimmermann goes one step further: the Union “put the first chancellor, but obviously does not work into its own party”.

Strack-Zimmermann emphasizes the importance of female role models in particular: “Young people in particular are looking for their Role Model and usually in their own gender. A woman at the head of the state would be a role model for young women, but also for young men, because it would also shape their role model early.”

Who could become the first Federal President?

The discussion about a woman in Bellevue Castle is not only theoretically – women are already circulating for women who are considered candidates. Ilse Aigner, the current president of the Bavarian state parliament and former Federal Minister of Agriculture, is repeatedly mentioned. The CSU politician is considered a binding personality who enjoys recognition across party. In addition, there are stubborn rumors, according to which there is said to have been a secondary agreement on the coalition agreement, according to which the right to propose the Federal President at CSU.

Julia Klöckner herself, who, like Aigner, did the office of the Federal Minister of Agriculture, are also mentioned. Karin Prien, Education and Family Minister in Berlin and deputy CDU federal chairman with Jewish roots, could fill the office with a progressive profile.

In addition to politicians, social voices are also discussed in various media: Dunja Hayali, TV presenter with Iraqi roots and committed voice against racism, could shape the office with social weight. The author Carolin Emcke and the Jewish publisher Rachel Salamander are also called, who embody values ​​such as diversity, courage and attitude – exactly what Germany can now use well.

Federal President Strack-Zimmermann?

The name of Marie-Egnes Strack-Zimmermann also falls again and again. When asked whether she could imagine such a task, the European politician reacts with a laugh: “Of course. However, I would be less comfortable, for some, probably exhausting, but always clear, open and straight out, because what we do not need in these times are curls or even worse political phrases.”

Whether it will work with a woman as a Federal President in 2027 depend above all on the Union. Because the Federal Assembly, which is made up of the members of the Bundestag and just as many members who are elected by the state parliaments. If the Union does not participate, a man will sit again after Steinmeier in Bellevue Castle.
