Chancellor must be able to govern even in an emergency. Berlin government headquarters has now practiced moving to a secret alternative headquarters.
There is no specific reason for the training. The Federal Chancellery did not provide any information about the location of the alternative headquarters for emergencies. The question of whether Chancellor Scholz was involved in the exercise also remained unanswered - however, the head of government attended several public appointments in Baden-Württemberg on Tuesday. The “Tagesspiegel” had previously reported on the exercise.
