Change of Responsibilities Including Games Formally Resolved
As was to be expected, the new Federal Chancellor reorganised the responsibilities of the ministries in an organisational decree at the same time as convening the first cabinet meeting. As a result, the Bundesministerium für Forschung Technilogie und Raumfahrt Ministry of Research, Technology and Space is now responsible for games, headed by Dorothee Bär as Minister.
It is a formality without surprise: as part of an organisational decree, the new Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz has enacted changes with immediate effect, in accordance with paragraph 9 of the Federal Government's rules of procedure. This includes the formal renaming of ministries as stipulated in the coalition agreement. Additionally, the creation of the Bundesministerium für Digitales und Staatsmodernisierung (Federal Ministry for Digital and State Modernisation) as a new ministry was ordered. The reallocation of responsibilities, as agreed in the coalition agreement, is also part of this decree.
