Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIS : List of mayors of Hamburg


The following is a list of mayors of Hamburg, the city-state in Germany.

According to the constitution of 28 September 1860 the state has been governed since 1861 by the ten-member Senate, which had been called council (in the German language of that time: Rath) before that time. It is headed by the First Mayor as the President of the Senate. His deputy is the Second Mayor. Prior to WWI the two mayors were elected for one-year-terms. Until 1997 the First Mayor was Primus inter pares among his colleagues in the Senate, by whom he was elected. Since then, he has been elected by the Bürgerschaft (City Assembly) and been able appoint and to dismiss other Senators.
