Key FactsÖzdemir Plans Move to Official Villa at Schloss Solitude

Summary created with AI assistance · Source: swr.de
  • Özdemir said the rented home he shares with his wife and son would need extensive security upgrades, including windows and doors.

  • Protecting the head of government would likely be easier for State Criminal Police Office officers at the villa.

  • Özdemir initially could not say how many rooms he would use privately or what rent he would pay; rent is calculated by square metres.

  • Özdemir’s predecessor Winfried Kretschmann did not use the villa; his wife Gerlinde considered 3,000 euros monthly net rent too expensive.
    • Therefore, it makes more sense to invest the money in a building owned by the state.
    — Cem Özdemir, Minister-President of Baden-Württemberg, regarding moving into the service villa at Schloss Solitude; he explains the rationale on security and budgetary grounds.
