Missing Aspects from Merkel's Chancellorship Tenure - What the former Chancellor, Merkel, found most lacking during her tenure.
After 16 years in power, Angela Merkel has bid farewell to the Chancellery. Now, she appreciates the simpler pleasures like casual movie outings, garden tending, and valuable companionship. Yet, there are aspects she yearns for:
Her fondest memories of her time in office revolve around the stunning flower arrangements in the Chancellery and "the magnificent Chancellor's kitchen." At a gathering celebrating her book "Freedom" in Baden-Baden, Merkel expressed her longing, "You would enter, ready for a challenging day, and it would always be so exquisitely decorated." Indeed, she knew she'd miss the floral charm during her term in office.

Regarding the kitchen, it's more of a culinary reality. "I must cook for myself again," Merkel responded when questioned by a student. CDU's Bundestag President Julia Klöckner had previously lauded Merkel's culinary prowess, mentioning she had once gifted her a Thermomix for preparing delectable soups. Merkel's response was dismissive: "I can cook."
Media Control from Baden-Baden bestowed Merkel with the first-ever Gold Award for her runaway hit "Freedom" (Kiepenheuer & Witsch). The Book of the Year 2024/2025 and the most successful biography of the last ten years, the title was a masterpiece that left an indelible mark on readers worldwide.
