- On Wednesday evening, August 12, Björn Höcke published a two-minute video urging Sahra Wagenknecht to become Thuringia’s minister president.
- The AfD and the Wagenknecht faction would theoretically hold a three-seat majority in the 88-member state parliament, with 32 and 15 lawmakers respectively, while the CDU-SPD-BSW coalition has 44 votes.
- Wagenknecht rejected the offer, saying that most BSW lawmakers in the state parliament oppose the party’s federal executive and would not vote for her.
- The proposal is linked to an announced constructive vote of no confidence by the AfD against Thuringia’s CDU Minister President Mario Voigt after Chemnitz University of Technology rejected his appeal against the revocation of his doctorate.
The office of Thuringia's Minister-President is not a trophy that Mr. Höcke can award at will.— Sahra Wagenknecht; stated in response to Björn Höcke's offer regarding the Thuringian Minister-President position, as reported in taz

- According to Der Spiegel, the Chemnitz Local Court issued an arrest warrant in connection with the legal dispute between Maximilian Krah and Jan Böhmermann.
- Krah lost the case over a podcast statement about 200 champagne bottles, partly because Böhmermann shortly afterward amended the figure to around 50.
- According to Der Spiegel, Böhmermann initially recovered about 5,000 euros in legal costs, while a further 296.26 euros reportedly remain outstanding and Krah did not attend an asset disclosure appointment in mid-July.
- The court initially declined to comment, while Böhmermann’s lawyer Sebastian Gorski criticized Krah and Krah said his lawyer would review the claims.
Germany is a state under the rule of law, and it cannot be that a member of the Bundestag and a fully qualified lawyer evades his legal obligations.— Sebastian Gorski, Böhmermann's lawyer, in relation to the arrest warrant against Maximilian Krah

- The Rhine reached historic lows in summer 2026 after weeks of drought; the Kaub reference gauge measured around 17 centimetres in August, compared with 25 centimetres in 2018.
- The German Economic Institute expects production cuts; transport expert Thomas Puls said a complete disruption of transport routes south of Kaub was looming, while road and rail could not absorb the goods.
- Covestro reports severe restrictions on raw-material and goods transport because of the acute low-water situation, which is now affecting supplies to individual plants and products.
- According to Stefan Dietzfelbringer, ships could continue operating between Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Antwerp and the Rhine-Ruhr region, while NRW would be cut off from the southern Rhine areas.
We are already seeing that fuel prices have risen because of the low water. That is a warning signal.— Stefan Dietzfelbringer, Chief of the Niederrhein Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK), speaking to the WAZ
