It's what we call a play on words. They're riffing off the German saying "Jetzt is Schluss" (for which we'd use the idiom "enough already"). In other words, the direct translation of "now is (the time for) Schulz" is played off of "enough already."
FWIW, Kohl was the Bundeskanzler during my last several years over there. He was mockingly referred to as Kohlkopf (cabbage head).
