After the CDU's election victory in Hesse, she appointed Roland Koch to his cabinet as Minister of Social Affairs on April 7, 1999 . She resigned from this position on August 21, 2001 for private reasons. The background was the imminent divorce, which she did not consider compatible with the job of a family minister.

After her resignation, she joined the non-profit Hertie Foundation as management spokeswoman (2001–2006).
