Germany's New Cabinet

Here you can learn about the people controlling one of the world's largest economies.

Spiegel Online presents an interactive guide to Germany's new cabinet. The government is once again formed as a collation, this time between the dominant Christian Democratic Union (teamed with their Bavarian sister-party the Christian Social Union) and the Free Democratic Party (Liberals, in the original European sense of the word). It seems the favourite wonderkid is the vietnam-born Philipp Rösler, who is at once the youngest member and the first foreign-born minister (Health) in Germany. He's also been a member of the Free Democrats since 19.
