Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the figure of Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer – the new leader of the Christian Democratic Union, her political path and her worldview. An attempt was also made to evaluate her current political actions and indicate her chances of assuming the post of the Chancellor. Moreover, the subject of the research explores the direction of her political views, relating both to the party profile and internal affairs, as well as German political activity in the international arena. Although A. Kramp-Karrenbauer is considered Merkel’s successor in terms of presenting similar views and the manner of operation, the new leader made an attempt to create her own political profile. Therefore, the question remains open whether she will strive to continue Chancellor Merkel’s political legacy or peruse her own vision of the party leadership.
