Bundestag President Julia Klöckner Establishes Corona Enquiry Commission

In a significant move, Bundestag President Julia Klöckner (CDU) has established the Corona Enquiry Commission, aiming to document and utilize knowledge from the pandemic. The review was officially launched in Berlin on Monday.

Klöckner described the establishment of the commission as an important step towards understanding the complexities of the pandemic and its impact on society. She urged the review to be comprehensive, transparent, and self-critical, emphasizing the need for a 'knowledge preservation' effort for the Corona period.

The Corona investigation commission, chaired by CDU MP Franziska Hoppermann, includes 14 Bundestag members and 14 experts from various political groups. The commission began its work on September 8, 2025.

The division of opinions on the pandemic has affected families and communities, and Klöckner believes the review can help regain trust in democracy. The commission is considered a potential tool for societal healing and rebuilding trust in democracy.

Klöckner also stated that the establishment of the commission was overdue, as the pandemic has left a lasting impact on the country. The commission is intended to be a thorough examination of the pandemic, with the aim of learning from the past to prepare for future challenges.

The Corona Enquiry Commission is seen as a means to preserve knowledge from the pandemic for future reference. It is expected to play a significant role in documenting and utilizing lessons from the pandemic, with the ultimate goal of achieving societal reconciliation and regaining trust.

Moreover, Klöckner suggests that future pandemics are possible, and the commission's findings could provide valuable insights for preventing and managing such crises in the future. The review is seen as an opportunity for societal reconciliation, with the hope that it will help the nation move forward and rebuild.
