Ricarda Lang Completes Bachelor of Laws After 13-Year Path

Her political ascent delayed the Humboldt degree that she has now completed.

Overview

  • Lang announced the Bachelor of Laws with a celebratory Instagram photo outside Humboldt University in Berlin.
  • She added a self‑deprecating joke in the comments, quipping that she finished her degree before the long‑awaited GTA6 release.
  • She began studying law after her 2012 Abitur and paused in the winter semester 2019/2020 to focus on politics.
  • Lang served as co‑leader of the Greens from 2022 to 2024 and is now a Bundestag member with a focus on social policy.
  • Her post drew many congratulations from roughly 200,000–215,000 Instagram followers, and coverage noted that Markus Söder’s earlier jibe about her lacking a qualification no longer fits.
