Hanover - The two have just celebrated their second wedding anniversary: Former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder (SPD) and Soyeon Schröder-Kim . A good hanger for the NDR talk on Tuesday, to which the 52-year-old South Korean was invited. From the young love and the wedding day it goes directly to the topic of red wine - and a piquant detail about the Schröder-Kim couple.
Gerhard Schröder's passion for the red, alcoholic drink is so well known that it is of course also known to talkmaster Hubertus Meyer-Burckhardt . In fact: "You get to know wine," says Schröder-Kim, who had never drunk alcohol before this marriage . Something has changed since then.
Gerhard Schröder: Apparently alcohol has been an issue for spouses for a long time
She is not a wine lover. "But I drink with it," she says. "So that my husband drinks less" . Apparently alcohol has been an issue for the couple for some time. This becomes even clearer when Hubertus Meyer-Burckhardt wants to know exactly how the marriage proposal went . Schröder-Kim , not for the first time reveals details of her married life, chats on and it becomes clear: she probably knows her loved one very well. After all, she is Schröder's fifth wife. Once he was even charged with adultery. You don't have to get married, because of a few years ago, she answered, she reports.
Her demand: "You have to offer me 30 years," she says. Admittedly, this is difficult for a man of 76 years to do. Schröder-Kim also explained to her quasi-fiance how this can work : "If you stop drinking alcohol from now on, it will work. " His answer was that of a real politician, she says. "Promising that would be a lie, " he said.

But: According to Schröder-Kim , he also promised to reduce his red wine consumption to two glasses a day. "He thought I was impressed by this promise," says Schröder-Kim in the NDR talk. But far from it. "Every day. Two glasses of wine. It was an alcoholic for me. ” After all, with a few exceptions, according to Schröder-Kim , he had kept the promise so far.
