Albert Engels was Minister of Education and then Minister of Economics under Heinrich Brücken.

Engels was born in China but moved at a young age to Berlin with his parents. Engels got German citizenship when he was only one years old. Engels was born into a wealthy family, his dad was a successful financier and his mother was a lawyer.

Removing Vogel
Engels was made Minister of Education when Brücken won the September 2019 elections.

Following Brücken's resignation mid-November, a plot hatched amongst SPD members to remove Vogel and put Brücken back into power. Engels was promised the position Minister of Economics in exchange for his political support.

Arrest
Engels was arrested by INTERPOL for allegedly being a part of the Russian Missile Conspiracy. As he was being taken from the Bundestag, Engels cursed and shouted at Vogel after realising what had happened.
