Bundeskanzlerin Merkel

Everybody who learns German knows it is a dread to learn the difference of the writing for male and female. Mostly, the female nouns is identified by adding an "in" to the noun. And a "-man" in a word becomes "woman". As such, it would be Chairwoman instead of Chairman. this just to illustrate the challenge that the German government faced when Angela Merkel was elected Bundeskanzler - in - Chancellor, so to speak. Each chancellor has his/ her own webpage, and since she is the first femal chancellor to lead Germany, well, there was no reserved webpage for her. And the one with the "-in" was registered in 1998 - lucky, the owner gave it up willingly.

So now Angela Merkel has her own webpage - and can be found at "http://www.bundeskanzlerin.de". Remember, it is the one with the "in".
