For his wife’s career
Baerbock’s husband quits his job at DHL
The office of minister is demanding, that is clear to Annalena Baerbock even before taking up office in the Foreign Office. Her husband is now quitting his job at the logistics group DHL, as announced, in order to keep his wife’s back at home.
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock’s husband, Daniel Holefleisch, has given up his job at the logistics group Deutsche Post DHL in favor of his wife’s career. A company spokesman confirmed to the magazine “Bunte”, according to a report, that Holefleisch “has not been active for the Deutsche Post DHL Group since July 2021”. The two have two daughters.
Even before the general election, Baerbock had said that if she accepted a government office, “it is very clear that my husband cannot continue his work there like this”. Holefleisch has advised and supported his wife since the beginning of her career.
In addition to Robert Habeck, Baerbock is currently also the chairman of the Greens. Because both have taken over government offices, they have to give up their party offices. The Greens elect a new dual leadership at a party congress at the end of January.
