Arms Euphoria Instead of Peace: Sven Schulze (CDU) Celebrates Ammunition While Elsewhere People Demonstrate for Disarmament!


On January 23, 2026, Economics Minister Sven Schulze let the cameras roll while Rheinmetall “invested” 30 to 40 million euros in Silberhütte. Ammunition, pyrotechnics, jobs — morality? Not a trace.



On January 23, 2026, Saxony-Anhalt’s Minister of Economic Affairs Sven Schulze (CDU) and Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger presented the latest coup for the Harz region: Silberhütte is to be massively expanded, pyrotechnic production at least doubled, perhaps even tripled. 30 to 40 million euros — officially announced — Rheinmetall plans to invest in new machines, halls, and production lines. Schulze beams, Papperger nods in satisfaction, and the cameras roll, while elsewhere people demonstrate for peace and protest ever-higher arms spending.

Because what the public perceives as a private corporate investment is in truth taxpayers’ money. Rheinmetall produces mainly on behalf of the federal government. The 30 to 40 million euros are therefore also tax funds. Put differently: taxpayers are financing arms production themselves while politicians celebrate it as an economic success. Jobs are created, output figures rise — ethical questions about the purpose of the ammunition are elegantly brushed aside.

And of course the leaders so dearly loved by many in politics and government know best what is “important for the people.” For Schulze and his colleagues, that evidently means above all figures, growth, and armament.


The video from January 23 looks like a business promotional film: minister, board member, handshake, smiles — perfectly staged. Politics congratulates itself on rearmament while elsewhere protests for disarmament are taking place.

Could it be that about 90 years ago there was already a time when politics brought about an economic upswing through arms production? And only a few years later the people once again paid the price — not only with money, but with many human lives?
