After introductory musical performances, Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz did not miss the opportunity to bid farewell to the outgoing Minister-President of the state of Saxony-Anhalt, Reiner Haseloff, and to introduce his successor Sven Schulze.

In any case, it is worth exploring this part of Germany, as the Minister-Presidents and the Federal Chancellor demonstrate by bicycle.
