London (CNN) -- The landscape of German politics is changing. Angela Merkel has just been re-elected chancellor and is considered the country's most powerful female politician ever. And now, for the first time in its history, two black politicians are entering parliament. Charles Huber of Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Karamba Diaby from the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), were elected in this month's general election to Germany's parliament, the Bundestag. Huber, 56, is a television actor in Germany well-known for starring in the detective TV series "Der Alte" ("The Old Man") for years. He was born in Munich to a Senegalese father and a German mother.
