> “For our fairytale castles, a fairytale comes true,” says Markus Soeder, a German politician representing Bavaria, in a statement shared with Reuters.

Ah yes, a German politician representing Bavaria. Just like Gavin Nüsom is an American politician representing Kalifornien.

Want to elaborate? That would be a totally fine way of describing Gavin Newsom other than the weird spelling.

Governors perform an executive function, and it's odd to describe "politician role" rather than just naming the role itself; governor for California, Minister or Minister-President for Bavaria.

"Representing" to an American ear sounds more like a legislative role, and from what I can find of Bavaria, that is also wrong, with Minister-President being an executive and head of state figure.

Markus Söder is from Franconia and not from Bavaria in the narrower sense. The comment still doesn't really make much sense.

Also, why did he omit the Umlaut from Söder if he used it for Nüsom?

Maybe it's that German humor I hear about
