Hmm, I'm not convinced by the quasi-religious monarchy dictatorship system of government....

Princess-Abbess of Gandersheim, according to wikipedia.

Adelaide II: "according to reports by Bernold of Constance, Adelaide was also involved in Egbert's assassination two years later."

Henriette Christine: "In 1712 the 42-year-old Abbess of Gandersheim, Henriette Christine of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, suddenly resigned on account of the birth of her illegitimate son."

If you want to understand German politicians, and their approach to policy, you have to look to a quiet regional capital.

For a region that is widely mocked for being boring, Lower Saxony has over the past three decades generated power networks that play a central role in German politics. The networks are legible today in the rise to power of Germany’s new defense minister and the co-chairman of the ruling Social Democratic Party (SPD).

"Germany became the first country to launch a fully hydrogen-powered rail line on Wednesday."

"The move has been welcomed by many as a significant step towards decarbonising Europe’s transit systems. Some have said that the fleet is expected to save 4,400 tonnes of CO2 every year compared to standard trains."

"Looking closer, Euronews discovered that the fleet uses grey hydrogen, which is not necessarily good news for the planet."
