That's blatantly wrong. It's the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie). You even mentioned the Wikipedia article which states it right.

View on HN

The departments of the agency working on telecommunication law are exclusively supervised by the Bundesministerium für Verkehr und digitale Infrastruktur. Only the other areas plus all administrative supervision is done by the Bundesministeriums für Wirtschaft und Energie.

("Belongs to" is probably too strong either way. They are not part of a ministry.)

Ah you are right they introduced that change late 2013.

//edit: But how it is stated in the parent post is still wrong ;)

I edited my post to clarify that.

A good point, but could be made differently.
