If the SPD membership votes to enter coalition with the CDU/CSU it now seems SPD leader Sigmar Gabriel will be the new Economics and Energy Minister, Frank-Walter Steinmeier will be the Foreign Minister and Heiko Maas, the current premier in Saarland, is set to be the new Justice Minister.
It appears the new Minister for Employment and Social Affairs will be SPD General Secretary, Andrea Nahles.
At least, so go the rumours in Berlin today.
Then again if the SPD membership decides not to join in the Grand Coalition, it's all back to the drawing board.
CDU insiders expect Wolfgang Schäuble to stay in Finance and Thomas de Maizière to continue as Minister for Defence.
