Transport Minister Schnieder Hospitalized, Now Recovering at Home

Transport Minister Patrick Schnieder was rushed to hospital after suffering a circulatory collapse during a cabinet retreat. Chancellor Friedrich Merz later confirmed that the Minister has been discharged and is now recovering at home.

The incident occurred on October 1, 2025, during the cabinet meeting. Schnieder was immediately taken to the hospital for treatment. Meanwhile, Culture State Minister Weimer left the retreat due to a personal bereavement.

Chancellor Merz later addressed the situation, stating that Schnieder has been discharged and is stable at home. He also mentioned that the Minister needs some recovery time.

The government has not yet announced any changes to Schnieder's duties during his recovery. The cabinet retreat continues with both ministers absent.
