Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his team will have to be measured against how successful they are in these fields over the next four years.
In addition, the coalition of SPD, Greens and FDP has undertaken hundreds of other projects, laws and reforms.
The coalition agreement alone has 177 pages.
It's about the modernization of society, housing construction or ideas for the future of the European Union.

We want to use the SPIEGEL traffic light radar to track key government projects over the next four years, keep track of them and document the current status of implementation.
To start with, we evaluated the coalition agreement, but we will expand the list of traffic light projects in the course of the legislature.

The selection is limited to the most important projects.
In the following list you can study the plans of the SPD, Greens and FDP in detail according to topic and implementation status.
