Encyclopedia > Federal Ministry for Economics and Labour (Germany)
The Federal Ministry for Economics and Labour (Germany: Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Arbeit) was a Ministry of German Federal Government between 2002 and 2005. It was created through the merger of the Federal Ministry for Economics and Technology and one part of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs - the other part being merged with the old Federal Ministry for Health. Because the new Ministry was very large and important, it was often referred to as a super-ministry (Superministerium) and its minister as a super-minister (Superminister). Under the Grand Coalition headed by Angela Merkel, the portfolio reshuffle was reversed, and the old Federal Ministries for Economics, for Labour and Social Affairs and for Health were created once again. 2002 (MMII) is a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ... 2005 (MMV) is a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
