When Angela Merkel took over the chairmanship of the CDU / CSU parliamentary group in 2002 , Christiansen moved from the party headquarters to the Jakob-Kaiser-Haus .

Around the time the government took over, Eva Christiansen took her baby break . After the birth of her daughter, she initially returned to a part-time position as media advisor to the Chancellor.

The SPD then requested a review by the President of the Bundestag and the Federal Audit Office. Bundestag President Norbert Lammert promised to look into the matter.
