The minister, 61, tripped while descending from the podium at the end of his speech to a conference on Germany鈥檚 digital strategy in the city of Dortmund.
Television footage showed Altmaier stepping down from the podium and then cut to the audience applauding, before they gasped and their hands went to their mouths at the sight of his fall. Medics, including a doctor in the audience, rushed to his aid and he was later taken to hospital.
The Economy Ministry said in a statement: 鈥淓conomy Minister Altmaier tripped on the stairs and fell when he was leaving the stage at the digital summit today.鈥
