  • The SPD sub-district of Hanover Region has jurisdiction because of Schröder’s residence; Matterne did not identify the applicants under party arbitration rules.

  • Seventeen SPD bodies initiated an earlier proceeding; in summer 2022, the first instance found no breach of party rules.

  • Seven SPD bodies appealed unsuccessfully; in 2023, the district commission rejected sanctions requests and the federal commission deemed appeals inadmissible.

  • In early October 2026, Schröder’s visit to Putin drew renewed SPD criticism; the Kremlin said he was with Putin for his 74th birthday in Moscow.

Key FactsBank Halts Schröder's Nord Stream Payments
May 25, 2025 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: fr.de
  • Gerhard Schröder received biannual payments of 200,000 euros from Russia until mid-2024 for his Nord Stream efforts.

  • Sparkasse Hannover stopped transferring the funds, returning them to Gazprombank in Luxembourg due to sanction fears.

  • Schröder continues to defend the Baltic pipeline as a cleaner, transitional energy source for Germany.

  • The EU aims to ban Nord Stream operations and reduce the Russian oil price cap to $45 per barrel.
    • Since renewable energies are still not reliably available around the clock and throughout the year, and electricity should not be produced in nuclear power plants, I am in favor of natural gas, and a pipeline is more environmentally friendly than a tanker powered by heavy oil that brings us LNG gas.
    — Gerhard Schröder in a letter to the Parliamentary Inquiry Committee of the State Parliament of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
