Overview

• The ministry will occupy two sites—its primary seat in Berlin and a secondary office in Bonn—continuing the arrangement set by the 1994 Berlin-Bonn Act.
• Tasks previously spread across multiple ministries and the Chancellery will now be unified under Minister Karsten Wildberger of the CDU.
• Berlin operations are temporarily housed in the Interior Ministry’s Charlottenburg building while a dedicated facility is arranged.
• The taxpayer association Bund der Steuerzahler has condemned the dual-location plan as inefficient and warned of avoidable expenses.
• Ministry officials have not disclosed the projected costs of maintaining the Bonn office, raising questions about budget transparency.
