Die Persönlichkeiten in diesem Buch machen sich selbst zum Geschenk, denn sie sind der Universität auf verschiedene Weise verbunden – als Absolventinnen und Absolventen, als ehemalige Rektoren, als prägende Lehrkräfte oder als Ehrendoktoren und -senatoren. Sie sind über ihre unmittelbare berufliche Umgebung hinaus bekannt, weil sie eine öffentliche Funktion wahrnehmen oder wahrgenommen haben. Die Universität Hamburg ist fern davon, sich selbst als Causa des beruflichen Erfolgs ihrer prominenten Alumni zu betrach- ten. Dennoch hat die Universität mit ihnen zu tun. Sie ist der Ort gewesen, in dem diese Frauen und Männer einen Teil ihrer Sozialisation erfahren haben. Im glücklicheren Fall war das Studium ein Teil der Grundlage ihres Erfolges, weil es Wissen, Kompetenz und Persönlichkeitsbildung ermöglichte.

9 March 2021 Peter Altmaier, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs
9 March 2021 Peter Altmaier, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Hubertus Heil, Federal Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Gerd Müller, Federal Minister of Economic Cooperation and Development cc: Helge Braun, Head of the Federal Chancellery and Federal Minister for Special Tasks Heiko Maas, Federal Minister of Foreign Affairs Olaf Scholz, Federal Minister of Finance Dear Ministers Altmaier, Heil and Müller, I write as the former UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Business and Human Rights and author of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. It is my understanding that the German Cabinet has approved a draft law on corporate human rights and environmental due diligence in supply chains. It now goes to Parliament for its consideration. The law introduces human rights due diligence obligations initially for companies that employ at least 3,000 workers, and later for companies with at least 1,000 workers—which have their headquarters, principal place of business or registered office in Germany. It aims to improve human rights standards and practices in the operations and supply chains of those German companies. There are elements to welcome in the draft law. For example, companies are expected to examine how their own purchasing practices may help mitigate human rights and environmental risks. Moreover, the law recognizes the need for accountability measures to ensure that the due diligence obligation is meaningful. It focuses on permitting affected individuals to file a complaint with the regulatory oversight body, which has the power to determine if a company has breached its obligations and to issue fines if so.

November 2019 (www.spiegel.de/wirt schaft/bankenunion-olaf-scholz-gibt-blockade-der-eu-einlagensicherung-auf- a-1295057.html), dass der Bundesminister der Finanzen, Olaf Scholz, seine Blockade bei der europäischen Einlagensicherung aufgebe. Zusätzlich zu den nationalen Einlagesicherungssystemen, die jedes Mitglieds- land einrichten muss, soll nun ein europaweit tätiger Einlagensicherungsfonds gegründet werden. In diesen Fonds sollen die Banken jedes Mitgliedslandes einzahlen. Diese Beiträge sollen nicht in einem Gemeinschaftstopf untergehen. Stattdessen werde das Geld auf nationalen Konten angesammelt, von denen im Bedarfsfall den nationalen Einlagesicherungssystemen Liquidität über rück- zahlbare Darlehen zur Verfügung gestellt würde. Für Länder mit kleinem Ban- kensektor könne der Fonds sogar einen Teil der Verluste übernehmen, weil die Kreditinstitute dort wohl nicht in der Lage sein würden, den Kapitalpuffer wie- der aufzufüllen.

Now that there are red-red-green majorities in Saarland tion? and Thuringia (Saarland is the first state in the western part of Germany with such a major - How has the SPD gone ity), efforts to form coalitions with Die Linke might well lose their opprobrium gradually. From from being a leading now on, coalition-building in Germany will be more uncertain than ever in the history of the party to trailing in the Federal Republic of Germany. On the one hand, pressure will mount within the SPD to pave polls? the way for a new left majority that includes Die Linke on the federal level. On the other hand, Chancellor Angela Merkel and the CDU/CSU, as well as the FDP, will do everything to make the prevention of such a development the central theme for the remainder of the electoral campaign. The specter of a red-red-green coalition in Berlin will now dominate the political discourse until Election Day. Whether this strategy will work is an open question.

Martin Schulz at the Presentation of the SPD Candidate For
Speech by Martin Schulz at the presentation of the SPD Candidate for Chancellor on 29 January 2017 Check against delivery! Comrades, ladies and gentlemen, guests, The party’s executive committee has just proposed that I stand as candidate for chancellor and future party chairman. This is an emotional moment for me and I am glad I can share it with you here today. It is a magnificent scene from up here on the rostrum and it’s wonderful to see the Willy Brandt Building so full. Everywhere you go, you can sense the upbeat mood and the new hope placed in the party – not just here in the hall but throughout the country. We’re going to make the elections a thrilling experience again this year. I am very touched and grateful for the tremendous encouragement I have received from party members and the general public over the past few days and so I am looking forward to the forthcoming election campaign. Sigmar, I am personally delighted and we are all very grateful • that you selflessly renounced the office of party chairman and the position as chancellor candidate because you were convinced it was better for the country and for our party to do so; • that we have stuck together through thick and thin over the past few weeks and months, even though efforts were made by others to prise us apart; • and that you are my friend. You’re a great guy and, in proposing that I should now lead the party, you have taken a difficult personal decision with great equanimity.

Germany Ahead of the 2021 Federal Elections
Germany ahead of the 2021 federal elections The German federal elections in September 2021 will mark a historic turning point: the end of the Merkel era with the departure of the Chancellor after 16 years in office. An entire generation has grown up and been politically socialised with Angela Merkel as the ruling Chancellor. None of her male predecessors in office ruled Germany longer than the first woman in the chancellorship - only Helmut Kohl also had a term of office of 16 years. With Angela Merkel's departure, it is highly likely that the so called "grand coalition" of CDU/CSU and SPD, which formed the government in Oliver Sartorius three of the four legislative periods under Angela Merkel's chancellorship, will also be Director Political Research replaced. and Advisory Kantar Public Germany 1 I. The decline of the people parties and the fragmentation of the German party system Thus, the end of the Merkel era will also mark the end of the dominance of Germany's two catch-all-parties (in German called “Volksparteien”). The heydays of the centre-right CDU/CSU and centre-left SPD peaked in the mid-1970s with around 90 percent vote shares at federal and most regional elections but had started to lose popularity since the 1980s. The process of German re-unification defined a preliminary halt to the downward trend in the 1990s, but increasingly since the turn of the millennium, voters have noticeably continued to turn away from the CDU/CSU and SPD. In particular, the three "grand coalitions" of the CDU/ CSU and SPD within the last four legislative periods (2005-2009, 2013-2017, 2017-2021) have obviously accelerated the downward trend of the popular parties.

Germany Votes: Comeback of the SPD Snap Last Night's First Tv Debate Seems to Have Confirmed the Current Momentum in German Election Politics
Economic and Financial Analysis 29 August 2021 Germany votes: Comeback of the SPD Snap Last night's first tv debate seems to have confirmed the current momentum in German election politics. While the SPD keeps its positive momentum, the CDU is struggling to regain it German SPD leader Olaf Scholz Another week, another set of fresh polls. And all recent polls confirm that the momentum is currently clearly with finance minister Olaf Scholz and the SPD. While some weeks ago, the SPD was still at some 15% of the votes, it currently ranges at around 23%, the best performance in 15 years. Some polls have the SPD already leading the CDU, which continues its downward trend and has approached the 20% level. Even if Germans do not vote their chancellor directly, the popularity of the Spitzenkandidaten leaves its marks on the parties’ performance in the polls. Olaf Scholz is currently by far the most popular of the three Spitzenkandidaten, with some 34% of the votes if Germans could vote the chancellor directly. Armin Laschet from the CDU was at 12% and the Greens’ Annalena Baerbock at 13%. Only the unknown “None of the above” remains close to Olaf Scholz with 30%... German elections weekly voting Source: Kantar, Forsa, INSA, survey period: calendar week 33/34; ING Economic & Financial Analysis Last night’s first television debate of the three Spitzenkandidaten was the kick-off for the last campaign weeks. The debate finally brought content back into the campaign. For the international audience, however, it should be interesting that topics like fiscal policy or Europe were hardly discussed at all.
