The "offical story" is she was "invited" to join the Stasi the secret police,but turned them down (exactlly how one turns down the Stasi in East Germany seems a mystery to me).....I find it very unlikely that if she turned down the Statsi she would have survived in East Germany for more than a month....

Angela Merkel first served Erich Honecker, later Helmut Kohl and now Obama. Served them then the Stasi and today the NSA
The father of Angela Merkel was already a Christian Communist, who immediately after the death of Stalin 1954 with the just born Angela from Hamburg moved to the former GDR.
Instead of for consumption and world metropolises, he preferred to be a red priest for the GDR province in the Uckermark, where he worked as a priest. Later he even made it a church functionary who trained the GDR vicars and priests and trained in the sense of the SED. He propagated the church in socialism there as the top instructor of the church of the GDR.
Angela Merkel was also quickly integrated into the new system and became a FDJ member. She was not just a simple member like millions of other youths. Rather, it was soon elected in the FDJ's governing councils. She was also allowed to hold a speech for her graduation. She called for support for the armed struggle of the Marxist-Leninist FRELIMO rebels in Mozambique for the struggle against neo-colonialism and US imperialism and collected money for the weapons of these rebels in Africa.
As a privileged GDR citizen, she was, of course, also allowed to study at the Karl Marx University in Leipzig.
After studying, she applied to Illmenau in Thuringia, where she studied physics. There she also had contact with the Ministry of State Security of the GDR. I had reported about it a few years ago. In the meantime, she admitted that she had been presented with a declaration of commitment by the Stasi to IM. Despite her close proximity to the SED system, she had not signed this declaration of obligation with reference to her chivalry. But there is considerable doubt about this presentation.
In the first place, instead of being accepted into the capital, it was practically promoted to the elite Academy of the Sciences of the GDR, where she was also a Ph.D. student and, above all, the FDJ Leadership, that Professor Hansjörg Osten was the chairman of this FDJ university group , With this professor, she twice occupied an apartment as part of the move to Berlin, which would not be possible without reckoning with the GDR authorities. And, above all, my suspicions have confirmed that Professor Ost himself had been Stasi IM. His name was "IM Einstein". He was also politically her direct superior since she became 2nd secretary for agitation and propaganda in the FDJ leadership there. And even in her youth she had been in contact with Mr. East in an FDJ camp.
But not only the joint housing arrangement of this Stasi IM s points to a cooperation between Merkel and the Stasi of the GDR. Rather, in the file of the greatest spying case in the history of the GDR, Robert Havemann discovered her passport photo, although she did not have any private contacts with the Havemann family, and only contacts on the house were held by the Stasi because Robert Havemann hermetically for a long time Locked under house arrest.
