Madame Tussauds Keeps Scholz’s Wax Figure on Display as Merz Awaits Recognition

The Berlin exhibit features Olaf Scholz and Angela Merkel, while production constraints delay a figure for Friedrich Merz.

Olaf Scholz’s wax figure remains a prominent feature at Madame Tussauds in Berlin, even after his tenure as Chancellor ended.
Angela Merkel’s wax figure continues to be displayed in the ‘Berlin 100!’ exhibition, commemorating her historical significance.
No plans are currently in place to create a wax figure for Friedrich Merz, a potential new political leader in Germany.
The production of wax figures requires meticulous craftsmanship, taking 10–12 months and typically planned two years in advance.
Scholz’s wax figure was first unveiled in 2022 at the Reichstag building and remains part of the Politics section of the exhibit.
