An unexpected stop for Frank-Walter Steinmeier in Nuremberg recently caused excitement on social media. The Federal President was on the way to Weiden and chose Albrecht-Dürer-Airport as the starting point of his trip. However, the choice of aircraft as a means of transport met with criticism for some citizens and triggered a heated discussion.

Above all, the question of whether it was necessary to travel by plane within Germany as head of state was controversial. Some described the decision as a waste of taxpayers' money and advocated that a train journey would have been more sustainable. However, there were also voices that defended the aircraft as an appropriate means of transport for the Berlin-Nuremberg route.

The discussion recalled how a member of the English Royals completed a similar trip last year and showed that there was another way. King Charles traveled between Berlin and Hamburg in an environmentally friendly way and thus set a statement for sustainable travel. This campaign was seen by some as a model for political representatives who should take their responsibility seriously in the field of climate protection.

The exchange of views was so intense that even Nuremberg Airport had to switch on to moderate heated comments. It was emphasized that disrespect, hatred and degrading statements would not be tolerated and would have to be removed.

The debate about the flight of Frank-Walter Steinmeier to Nuremberg shows how different the opinions on the use of air travel can be and how important it is to continue to discuss the topic of sustainable travel.
