		Amid reports that the Christian Democrats were prepared to make large-scale concessions on ministerial posts in order to secure the top job, the chancellor himself has remained defiant.
		He suggested Merkel should be foreign minister to begin with, building "the international contacts she doesn't have at the moment and which she would urgently need as a chancellor".
		Christian Wulff, a leading member of Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU), said the only issue the conservatives would not concede was the chancellery.

		The powerful Christian Democrat (CDU) party barons who have often stood in Merkel's way in the past rallied round on Monday, insisting that her leadership was not in question.
		Wulff and Hesse state premier Roland Koch have long been considered potential rivals to Merkel, although both have been at pains to stress their loyalty to her.
		As recently as late June, opinion polls gave Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU) and their sister party the Christian Social Union (CSU) as much as 49 percent of the vote, a far cry from the meager 35.2 percent they had when the vote was counted.

		Christian Democrats dismissed the implications of Schroeder's election.
		Kohl had heavily campaigned in Lower Saxony for Schroeder's Christian Democratic rival, Christian Wulff, in an attempt to keep Schroeder out of the chancellor's race.
		Schroeder said the election represented a "deep-seated wish for change in politics." He pledged to fight to reduce unemployment, which is at a post-war high of 12 percent.

	Weakened Merkel would be vulnerable chancellor - Turkish Daily News Sep 20, 2005
		While Merkel said she should be allowed to build a government because the Christian Democrats narrowly won the most votes, Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder refused to concede defeat and said he should remain leader.
		The state leader of Lower Saxony, Christian Wulff, was the preferred choice of many in the CDU to lead the conservatives into the election.

		In an acrimonious struggle, Merkel has insisted that she must be given the chance to become the country's first woman chancellor because she leads the biggest presence in parliament.
		Despite Schroeder's insistence that he will serve a third term, it appears increasingly likely that the SPD will be forced to accept Merkel as leader, perhaps in return for a pick of the cabinet posts in the right-left coalition.
		Christian Wulff, a long-time rival of Merkel within her Christian Democratic Union who has now thrown his weight behind her, said the only issue the conservatives were not prepared to negotiate was the chancellery.

	Guardian \| Embattled Schröder seeks home comforts
		The slogan on many of the Christian Democrat posters around Hanover, the state capital, is simply: "Wulff".
		Lower Saxony is the country's second biggest state, accounting for six of the 69 seats in the regionally based upper house of parliament, or Bundesrat.
		A Christian Democrat victory in Lower Saxony would make it more expensive at a time when Germany is already under intense pressure from the European Commission to cut its budget deficit.

	German elections seen pointing to 'grand coalition' - The Boston Globe
		But the polls also confirmed what has become increasingly clear in recent days -- that Merkel may struggle to form a coalition with her preferred allies, the liberal Free Democrats, and could instead be forced into an alliance with Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's Social Democrats.
		Members of Merkel's party are questioning her choice of Kirchhof, an advocate of a 25 percent flat tax whom the SPD has demonized as a neo-conservative radical.
		Christian Wulff and Guenther Oettinger, the powerful CDU leaders of Lower Saxony and Baden Wuerttemberg, urged Merkel to give Friedrich Merz, a finance specialist she has often clashed with, a prominent role in her team.

		Koch and another Christian Democratic governor, Lower Saxony's Christian Wulff, have featured in media speculation as possible alternatives.
		Schroeder's party was quick to reject on Friday night a report on RTL television that the chancellor himself was considering that option.

	Schröder faces humiliation at polls (HOLD MEIN BIER!) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		This would allow the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the chancellor’s right-wing opponents, to take control of the Bundesrat, the upper house of parliament, obliging him to embark on a German version of cohabitation — the uneasy coexistence between political rivals that hobbled French politics until President Jacques Chirac’s crushing election victory last year.
		Wulff, beaten twice to the state premiership by Schröder, is assured of revenge.
		The chamber, composed of representatives of Germany’s 16 states, is almost evenly split at present; victory for Wulff could give his party 41 of the 69 seats, obliging the government to strike compromises with the CDU on its economic reforms.

	Election leaves Germans uncertain of future - The Boston Globe
		Merkel's party won more votes than any other party, but the Christian Democrats fell far short of the better-than-40-percent margin that most polls suggested they were commanding only days before the election.
		Under such an arrangement, Social Democrats and Christian Democrats would forge a coalition government that would be feeble but at least capable of providing some leadership.
		Schroeder, however, has pledged that his followers will never cut a deal with the Christian Democrats so long as his bitter political rival remains at its helm.

	Schroeder Wins in German Vote, Sealing Bid for Run at Chancellorship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Second, and more worrisome for Christian Democrat strategists, Schroeder's candidacy promised a far harder fight than the German chancellor would have had to mount against Lafontaine, who lost badly to Kohl in national elections eight years ago and who has less of the charisma and popular touch of Schroeder.
		In the September vote, Kohl will be campaigning for his fifth successive term and a place in history as the man who oversaw Germany's reunification, served longer than any other post-war German leader, and led Europe toward a new millennium united in large part by a single currency, the euro.
		The result was also a setback for the left-wing of the Social Democrats, represented by Lafontaine, who stands for far greater state involvement in social and economic affairs than does Schroeder, who seeks to project himself as pro-business and opposed to regulation.

	Descendants of Jurgen Leverentz
		Christian Friedrich Lewerenz and Catharine Sophie Priebke got married in Duckow, Zettemin parish (the Zettemin pastor was obviously only represented by the Kummerow Pastor for a short amount of time due to absence or illness) and they already married in 1830.
		Fortunately I was able to check the Sassen confirmation registers for all their (surviving) children, so that we do not only know their names and birthdays but as well their probable places of birth.
		The movements of the family from Duckow to Kandelin and Vorbein to Sassen is another indidation for the difficulties of Christian Friedrich Lewerenz to earn the living for his family.

		In a clear sign of her vulnerability, Merkel said she would ask the CDU to re-elect her as parliamentary group leader on Tuesday to reinforce her position ahead of talks to form a governing coalition.
		But some think that a grand coalition might only be possible under the leadership of the premier of Lower Saxony, Christian Wulff, who was the preferred choice of many in the CDU to lead the conservatives into the election.

		But the CDU Premier of Lower Saxony state, Christian Wulff, insisted the new government would bring about change, albeit more slowly.
