As a surprise in the SPD team, Carsten Schneider is considered a new Minister of Environment and the previous Rijnland-Palatinate Minister of Education Stefanie Hubig, who becomes Minister of Justice. Minister of Bouw the previous vice -parliamentary group leader Verena Hubertz. Reem Alabali-Radovan, the previous integration and anti-racism representative of the German federal government, takes over the development center of Svenja Schulze.
The co-party chairman of the SPD, Saskia Esken, was not taken into account. It is controversial within the SPD. It is also not very likely that she will stay at the head of the party. In party circles it was also said that the previous SPD general secretary Matthias Miersch should lead the parliamentary group in the Bundestag in the future. Until now, co-party leader Lars Klingbeil had participated, who has now become Vice-Kanselier and Finance Minister.

They emphasized that six of the nine federal minister and Minister of the State are being taken over by women.
“The SPD creates a team that is ready to make our country courageous,” said party leadership. The SPD leads, among other things, central ministries to promote the planned modernization of Germany through massive investments and to strengthen the concerns of employees and their families.
