Merz missed German bread for breakfast in Angola - Chancellor Merz’s quest for German bread ends in Hamburg’s bakeries
Chancellor Friedrich Merz recently returned from a trip to Angola, where he missed a familiar comfort: German bread. Upon his arrival back in Germany, he made a point of visiting Hamburg to enjoy some freshly baked loaves with local bakers.
While in Luanda, Merz struggled to find German-style bread at his hotel’s breakfast buffet. His remarks about the absence of crusty rolls and sourdough sparked lighthearted attention.
Merz’s trip to Hamburg ended with fresh bread straight from the oven. The visit also put a spotlight on local artisans like Korte, whose craftsmanship keeps traditional baking alive. The chancellor’s simple pleasure in a loaf of bread became a small but memorable moment during his official duties in Germany.
