Karl-Josef Laumann (63), like many Germans in rural areas, is struggling with the Internet.

"Sometimes it works, but sometimes it doesn't," said the North Rhine-Westphalian Minister of Health on Friday evening on the WDR talk show "Kölner Treff".

For example, if he wanted to read the state government's press review, he would have to consider the following: “I open my iPad.

I have to remember to take it before breakfast and then have breakfast in peace.

And then I can read. "

His house from 1933 is very remote in the Riesenbeck district in Hörstel in the Tecklenburger Land.

“The fast internet cable is in the basement, but it's not knotted yet,” said Laumann.

When the new CDU chairman was elected, he drove to the CDU district office in Rheine to be on the safe side, so that he had an internet connection when casting his vote online.
