Overview
- Loredana Wollny remains in Germany for care in her 33rd week of a high-risk pregnancy as doctors warn her not to fly back to Turkey due to acute kidney problems.
- Her husband, Servet Özbek, and their two-year-old son, Aurelio, are still in Turkey because Servet has no visa to enter Germany.
- An earlier visa request was refused over concerns he might not return to Turkey, and the couple reapplied after their April wedding.
- At a September 24 emergency consular appointment they submitted full documentation, including a medical certificate, were told to expect a reply in 7–14 days, and report no response from the Izmir or Antalya consulates, the Foreign Office, or Berlin’s Bürgerservice.
- Wollny issued a public plea on Instagram, shared a clip of her crying son, said she tried to contact Friedrich Merz and Olaf Scholz without hearing back, and explained she feels safer receiving treatment in Germany due to language and communication.
