IS THIS MERKELS REAL 'HUSBAND'? (Lesbian lover)

At least her handler, i would say:

Beate Baumann. Following article implicates they've known each other since over 20 years!!!!

Here a rough goolag translation of a german article about her:

Powerful, but hardly anyone knows her Beate Baumann, Merkel's office manager: The shadow of the Chancellor

She is described as the "woman on the invisible side of power", as "Merkel's shadow", as the "second most powerful woman in Germany". But in public Beate Baumann is largely unknown. She has so much influence on the Federal Chancellor as hardly anyone else

Baumann became Merkel's advisor, initially in the Ministry of Women and Youth. When Merkel became Minister of the Environment in 1995, Baumann became office manager. In 1998 she moved with Merkel - now secretary general - to Konrad-Adenauer-Haus. Baumann is said to have contributed significantly to the legendary guest post in the "FAZ", with the Merkel cleverly launched the coup against the then wavering CDU chairman Helmut Kohl. In 2000, Merkel became party leader herself. Baumann continued her office over the years, moving to the Chancellery in 2005.

Baumann and Merkel combine many similarities. It starts with the external. Baumann wears a practical short haircut that is similarly unpretentious to Merkel's hairstyle at the beginning of her political career. The preference for trouser suits and external inconspicuousness unites Baumann and Merkel as well as their pragmatic, cool understanding of politics. Baumann, like Merkel, comes from a faithful family, is a power career woman and also childless
