Integration in schools : Merkel's fan club

One can assume that Angela Merkel, the interior of the ratio is not too large settlements much is known, has a weakness for the märkisches Viertel. There, to her, what she has experienced in the past few months, rarely happened: you Appear to be spontaneous, warm, a lot a hundred times the jubilation triggered.

Because there, in MV, is right in the middle of the Thomas-Mann-Gymnasium, the eighth and youngest high school Reinickendorf.
