Merz's father, Alois Merz, was a member of the Nazi National Socialist party since the early 1930s. His maternal grandfather Josef Paul Sauvigny was a high-ranking Nazi officer who served as the mayor of Brilon during [[World War II]], with the rank of Oberscharfuhrer. Sauvigny praised the Nazi “national revolution” in 1933 and renamed his town's streets after party bigwigs. Friedrich Merz has described his grandfather as "an admirable role model".
