Anna Stolz and her silent rise to the front row – Bavaria

The FW politician and former State Secretary in the Ministry of Culture is best known for having committedly avoided being portrayed in the media. However, she always wanted to be in charge of the department, she now says, to her surprise, no less.

Anna, who? That was the question in 2018, when the CSU and Free Voters formed their first coalition. Suddenly there was a name that hardly anyone knew: Anna Stolz. The lawyer, new to the state parliament, promptly became state secretary in the Ministry of Culture. Frantic Googling from MPs and journalists. Who is this woman who has made such a rapid rise? Now, five years later, Stolz has gone one step higher: Minister of Education. She replaces her Free Voters party colleague Michael Piazolo. And again you can sometimes hear: Anna, who?
