A discussion with students and young academics from the university is also planned.
Then (3:50 p.m.) Scholz visits the volunteer fire department in the Homberg district of Duisburg. "With his visit, the Federal Chancellor wants to encourage everyone who works - even in their free time - for a good and safe coexistence in our country," said the Federal Government.
