Lauterbach Pines for Ping Pong
The 62-year-old politico shared his dissatisfaction with the press, highlighting his late-night games that didn’t impact others and served a security purpose due to his ongoing protection by the Federal Criminal Police Office[1]. Wishful, he seeks an alternative to continue his passion for ping pong.
The table was a commemorative gift from his colleagues on his 60th birthday[1]. Now, he may need to consult "pingpongmap.net" for locating public tables[2]. The website boasts thousands of tables globally, including in Berlin and his constituency Leverkusen - Cologne IV.
Lauterbach is no stranger to the spotlight, often seen wielding a paddle for political purposes. Bemusing many, his salt-free diet is a regular headline, leaving folks questioning its health implications[3].
