Söder and Merkel celebrated the opening of the Wagner Festival in Bayreuth.
The CSU boss shared a photo of it on Instagram - his fans noticed a very specific detail.
Bayreuth - After the Richard Wagner Festival was canceled in 2020 due to the corona, the celebrities in Bayreuth * gave themselves up again last Sunday.
The most prominent guest of honor this time was probably for the last time in her office as Federal Chancellor, Angela Merkel * with husband Joachim Sauer.
She was welcomed by the country manager Markus Söder and his wife Karin Baumüller-Söder.
Together, the two couples presented themselves to the photographers in front of the entrance to the Festspielhaus.
The photo of Söder and Merkel is hotly debated on the internet
Prime Minister Söder * also shared this photo on his Instagram page.
He wrote: “It starts on the Festival Hill: Premiere evening in Bayreuth with Chancellor Angela Merkel.
We are pleased that the Richard Wagner Festival can take place today despite Corona *. ”Dressed up, the two couples stand at a sufficient Corona safety distance in front of the gate.
The women in chic evening attire, the men in tuxedos.
But one detail immediately caught the eye of the followers of the CSU boss.

“Dear Mr. Söder, very nice that you were able to open the festival hill.
A tuxedo is certainly the right choice of clothing, but a good tuxedo also requires proper patent-leather shoes.
You might consider this on your next evening in a tuxedo, ”writes a fan of the Prime Minister.
He received a lot of encouragement for this comment.
Another comments rather casually.
“You could have afforded decent shoes.” It was not the first time that comments about Söder's clothing preferences were made.
Already during the European Championship there was heated discussion about an Italy sweater with a special stain.
Fans see Söder as the only true candidate for chancellor
Despite unsuitable footwear, for many fans the Bavarian head of state remains the only true candidate for chancellor. In numerous comments it says, "I also think that you have to become Chancellor". Or: “There can only be one person in the Chancellery.” Others go as far and see Söder as a king. “In the fourth picture you can see the Bavarian royal family.” Another follower comments: “At some point he will be crowned king. He's already practicing waving from the balcony. "
The photo was less well received by some Instagram users for a completely different reason. For them it was inappropriate to celebrate a lavish party in Bayreuth, while in the flood areas numerous people are left with nothing. “When I see the pictures of the flood victims, I feel like I'm in two different worlds. On the one hand glamor and glory and on the other hand so much misery and people who have lost everything, ”writes a user. Another comments: “When others clean up the remains of the floods and mourn their losses, both humanly and factually, it of course makes sense for Merkel and Söder to have fun. Sad. “
