Angela Merkel's husband Joachim Sauer with the red carpet AFP German Chancellor Angela Merkel reportedly slipped from a chair while visiting the Wagner Festival in Germany, according to news outlet, Bild.

Merkel, 61, apparently sat on a broken chair inside a restaurant in the town of Bayreuth and fell, according to Merkel's representatives who were cited by the German news outlet. Bild initially reported Merkel "fainted."

It's unclear whether or not she was hurt.

Merkel, long considered one of the world's most powerful women, has been on a whirlwind journey of late, and a key fixture in the Greek debt crisis as murmurs of a possible Greek exit from the eurozone loomed large at the peak of Greece's economic unrest.

Reuters reported last month that Germany would bear much of the blame for a "Grexit," perhaps more than any other European country. It has been noted that in private conversations about Greece's near-collapse, Merkel said her "biggest fear" was being blamed for "blowing up Europe" for the third time in a century.
