Newly in love!
Karl Lauterbach shows himself to have a crush: He loves the journalist Elisabeth Niejahr.
This is the new partner of the SPD health minister.
Berlin – Karl Lauterbach drops the heart bomb!
The SPD man is newly in love and is talking about his new relationship for the first time.
“I’m glad that Elisabeth Niejahr is in my life,” says Lauterbach to
Bild
.
Since November, he and Niejahr have been spotted at the same Berlin parties again and again.
Now they are making their relationship public.
At the beginning they were cautious, among other things, because of the kidnapping plans of Reich citizens against Lauterbach, it is said.

But who is the woman who is turning the health minister's head?
Born in Eutin in 1965, Niejahr has been working as a journalist since 1993.
She was a correspondent for Der
Spiegel
in the parliamentary office in Bonn and later deputy head of the Berlin capital office of the Die
Zeit
.
There she met Karl Lauterbach in 2005; the two are said to have quickly become known to each other.
However, sparks only flew later.
From 2017 to 2019, Niejahr was chief reporter for
Wirtschaftswoche
in Berlin and since 2020 she has been part of the management of the Hertie Foundation.

Niejahr has also written several books, mainly political explanatory works and a guide for patchwork families.
And that could still be useful in your new relationship.
Lauterbach has five children: four with Angela Spelsberg (64) and one with the current
taz
editor-in-chief Ulrike Winkelmann (52).
Niejahr is the second journalist with whom Lauterbach has fallen in love and she also brings a child into the relationship.
Interestingly, Niejahr shares something in common with former Chancellor Angela Merkel: both fathers were pastors.
Lauterbach and Lindner are in a relationship with journalists
Karl Lauterbach is not the only prominent politician who has landed a successful journalist.

Their glamor wedding on Sylt caused a lot of attention at the time.
