Changes

Federal Minister of the Interior Gustav Heinemann resigned on October 9, 1950 in protest against secret negotiations held at the end of August 1950, during which Federal Chancellor Adenauer had signaled a West German “readiness for remilitarization” without informing the cabinet and the German public . Robert Lehr was appointed his successor on October 11, 1950 .

When the Foreign Office was re-established , which was formally still under the control of the Allied High Commission , Chancellor Adenauer renounced the appointment of a Foreign Minister and took over the management of official business himself on March 15, 1951.

After Federal Building Minister Eberhard Wildermuth died of a heart attack on March 9, 1952, FDP politicians Victor-Emanuel Preusker and Bundestag Vice- President Hermann Schäfer were initially discussed as successors . On July 15, 1952, Fritz Neumayer, a member of the Bundestag, was finally appointed as the new Federal Minister for Housing.

Others

During her tenure, the government filed several hundred criminal charges for "political insult".
