Consul Mark Wenig and Karin Karstein

April 18, 2008. Consul for Public Affairs Mark Wenig addressed approximately 40 students and several teachers from Leipzig’s Friedrich Schiller Gymnasium. After introducing himself and the Consulate’s work, Wenig reviewed the presidential candidates, central issues, the function of the Electoral College and provided a general overview of the campaign. He later divided the class into 4 equal groups who each presented questions, which led to a discussion on a variety of issues involving German-American relations.
