Explanation
In Germany’s federal states (Länder) that are not city-states, the head of government is called the Ministerpräsident/Ministerpräsidentin. Schleswig-Holstein is a non-city state, so its government leader holds that title.
Tips
- Most German Länder use ‘Ministerpräsident’.
- ‘Premierminister’ is not used in Germany.
- ‘Bürgermeister’ is for cities, not states.
- City-states have special mayor titles; Schleswig-Holstein is not one.
